- Scared Straight (band)
Scared Straight was a Nardcore Punk band from
Simi Valley, California .The band was formed in 1983 by a group of friends and was originally called S.O.F,
Scott Radinsky , Mike Thompson, Gary Galaines and Dennis Jagard, who wanted to start a band and enter a "Battle of the Bands" competition at a local skate rink. After going through several members and name changes, They often played with other "Nardcore" bands from nearbyOxnard, California . All of their records were released byMystic Records .In the early 1990's they changed their name to
Ten Foot Pole . One of the reasons for the name change was to move away from the "straight-edge" reputation that followed the band with a name like "Scared Straight". Ten Foot Pole has a reputation of being a more aggressive, hardcore punk band that likes to party and have fun.Original Scared Straight lineup
