Artist Detailed Info: Scalps

1. Scalps is a solo project of Chris Hearn, of Alps. Scalps was begun at the same time as Alps, with the intention of being an antithesis project, a kind of evil twin. Scalps embodied the elements which Alps did not: harshness, darkness, the digital, the improvised, treble, static.

Two records, the 'One' cdr and 'Two' 3"cdr were released in 2005 and 2006. Alps became a busy project, releasing ten records over the next four years and touring constantly internationally. The sinister, harsh and sporadic elements of Scalps found their way into Alps music, and as a result the Scalps project was largely laid to rest until 2010.

In 2010 the third Scalps release, 'Three', will be released on c20 cassette on Eternal Solitude. Scalps is now performing live sporadically and planning to record more.

2. Hardcore band from Salt Lake City, Utah.
