Get Scared

Hailing from Layton, Utah, Get Scared emerged onto the post-hardcore scene in 2008. Their initial foray involved the 2009 EP Cheap Tricks and Theatrics, followed by a self-titled EP in 2010. The band solidified their presence with their debut full-length, Best Kind of Mess, in July 2011. A brief period of lineup instability ensued when guitarist Nicholas Matthews temporarily departed to join Blacklisted Me. This resulted in the surprise release of Cheap Tricks and Theatrics B-Sides in December 2011. Matthews absence was filled by Joel Faviere, leading to the 2012 EP *Built for Blame, Laced With Shame*. However, Favieres tenure was short-lived, and Matthews returned to the fold a few months later.

Reunited and signed to Fearless Records, Get Scared unleashed their second album, *Everyones Out to Get Me*, in 2013. Their 2015 release, *Demons*, marked a significant stylistic shift, trading their earlier post-hardcore sound for a more metalcore-influenced approach. The bands final album, The Dead Days, arrived in 2019, coinciding with a hiatus that ultimately ended in their disbandment. Vocalist Nicholas Matthews later confirmed the breakup, citing irreconcilable differences between the members.
