[edit]Formation and early years (2008–2011)
Before forming Get Scared, Nicholas Matthews, Johnny Braddock, Bradley Lloyd, and Warren Peace were all in separate bands. All four came together to form Get Scared and self-released their first EP, Cheap Tricks and Theatrics. The only single from the EP, "If Only She Knew Voodoo Like I Do", became an internetsuccess and received attention from Universal Motown Records[3] with a popular video as well. During the summer of 2010, the band went on Hot Topic's Sacred Ceremony tour with Black Veil Brides and Vampires Everywhere!, helping promote the band's music. When they returned from the tour, they released the Get Scared EP, their first release through Universal Motown Records. The Get Scared EPfeatured the mastered remakes of the songs "Setting Yourself Up for Sarcasm" and "If She Only Knew Voodoo Like I Do" with the shortened names "Sarcasm" and "Voodoo". The band then embarked on several tours, notably the first leg of The Dead Masquerade Tour (with Escape the Fate, Alesana, Drive A and Motionless in White) in January - March 2011[4] and an Aiden headliner including Eyes Set To Kill, Dr.Acula, Vampires Everywhere!, and Escape the Fate (only certain dates) in the spring of 2011.[5]
On July 12, 2011, they released their first full-length studio album, Best Kind of Mess. The album reached No. 21 on the Top Heatseakers chart on the Billboard 200. The band recently departed on their first headlining tour, the Fuck You All tour, bringing along Dr. Acula and Girl on Fire. The tour willrun from September 6, 2011 at Albuquerque, New Mexico, to October 16, 2011 at St. Louis, Missouri.[6] After spending three years with fill-in bassist Brant Thurman, it was recently announced that TJ Bell (formerly of gothic metalcore band Motionless in White) had been playing bass on the Fuck You All Tour. The band announced via webcast that Bell would eventually become a permanent member.[7][edit]Departure of Nick Matthews (2011)
On November 30, 2011, the band announced that Nick Matthews, the band's lead vocalist, was leaving the band.[8] They stated that Matthews wanted to pursue more options in his musical career and that it was a surprise to the entire band. The band left a "note" on their Facebook page explaining the situation:
“ We regret to inform you that (Nicholas BlakeMatthews) has decided, his time with Get Scared has run out. This is so hard for us to announce, However this was not a decision made against Nicholas's wishes nor was he kicked out by any means. Nicholas felt Get Scared was no longer what he wanted to pursue and has moved on musically. Once again, This is so hard for us to announce. We are all still shaken up by it, there is no preparing for a loss asgreat as this. Although this was a shock to the entire band, Nicholas and Get Scared absolutely have no bad blood towards one another. Nicholas will forever be apart of the Get Scared family and we all look forward to his un doubtful success as a musician. ”
The band postponed any touring dates until further notice due to the sudden departure and lack of a lead vocalist. In the same message,...
