Anthology

SCARS ON 45 may never have come to be if co-founder Danny Bemrose hadn’t broken his foot as a professional soccer player. He traded his soccer ball for his father’s guitar, and quickly became addicted. The quintet is from Leeds, England. Their style combines the gentle melodic intensity of Snow Patrol or Keane with the added allure of co-ed vocals. Tension, often propelled by drummer Chris Durling’s insistent beat, builds throughout the songs as the emotional ante rises. The band has scored placements on “CSI: New York” and “One Tree Hill” as well as this season’s run of “Grey’s Anatomy.”
