Custom Made Scare

Since their Los Angeles debut in 1995, Custom Made Scare never wanted to fall under the bracket of being labeled as another "Punk" or "Rock-a-billy" band. Rather, they always considered themselves as a straight-up rock 'n' roll outfit with their own added speed and rowdiness.

With the line-up consisting of Charlie (vocals) Kevin Caruso (guitar) Sammy Justinich (bass) and Dave Conrad (drums), Custom Made Service would eventually have the chance to play with likes of Guttermouth, Social Distortion, Agent Orange Zeke and REO Speedealer amongst other seminal punk mainstays. After signing with LA's Side One Dummy Records in 1998, the band quickly followed through with the release of their debut album The Greatest Show On Dirt in 1999.

After years of constant playing and waiting for the perfect line up of members to slide into place, L.A. based cowpunk band Custom Made Scare came out of the gate kicking, snarling, and spitting. Just before the prison release of singer Charlie, the band's debut record, "The Greatest Show On Dirt" was released on Side One Dummy Records. Within a week of both releases, the band was on tour with Zeke and wreaking havoc all over America.

A combo of Angus Kilmeister meets Johnny Cash, the band has done shows and tours with such bands as Jerry Lee Lewis, Royal Crown Revue, The Reverend Horton Heat, Mike Ness, The Supersuckers, Suicidal Tendencies, The Suicide Machines, D-Generation and Speedealer to name a few.

Finally... After 3 years of trials, trouble and tribulation, out of the trenches of L.A.'s stenches Custom Made Scare comes with a follow up album to "The Greatest Show On Dirt". The band obviously knew it would be hard to match the power and intensity of the first record, but has somehow pulled it off with "The Show Must Go Off".

Keeping to their own brand of trucker cowpunk, the album doesn't let their loyal fans down but also opens them up to a new genre of fans with some new "obviously matured" material.
