Album Notes

Scarab formed in the garage of an auto glass tinting shop in the East Bay during the summer of 2004. Our intention for this band is to not be tied to a genre. We bring in elements of various types of music: latin, arabic, asian, and jazz rhythms melded with an 80's hardcore and post-punk aesthetic. Scarab's sound continues to evolve around our influences.

SCARAB fue formado en un grarage de polarizacion de vidrios de el Este de la Bahía de San Francisco en el verano del 2004. Nuestra intención no es estancarnos en un genero especifico. Incorporamos varios géneros musicales: Latinos, Árabes, Asiáticos y elementos de Jazz con una estética Hardcorera de los 80s. El sonido de SCARAB continua evolucionando entorno a nuestras influencias.

"This quintet doesn’t limit their music to any particular genre which is what makes it such a San Francisco band. They play music for the sake of music, instead of for the purpose of fitting inside of some neat little box, much like the majority of people who live here in the city."
