Get Scared's frontman Nicholas Matthews has decided to move on from Get Scared and pursue other outlets. The band is heartbroken and hurts to tell their fans this sadden news but wish the best for Nicholas in whatever he does. The band said this in regards to this matter;

"We regret to inform you that (Nicholas Blake Matthews) 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 as great 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.

With having said that, Get Scared will continue rock'n on! We are currently working on new material and couldn't be more proud/excited of the new songs. We can't wait to share them with all of you! Unfortunately, any winter touring plans Get Scared had prior, will be postponed until further notice.


At this time we do not have any announcements of a new singer. But, We will be holding auditions via video submission. We feel that we should give our fans an equal opportunity to become Get Scared's new singer as we would to a professional singer. Who better to give a chance to than the very people who gave us life, our fans

Get Scared loves you unconditionally, and we look forward to sharing the future with all of you! We will be posting many updates to keep you current with our plans."

As of 2008, Utah rockers Get Scared  went and self-produced/released their EP "Cheap Tricks and Theatrics" (2009) then that following year during the springtime and summer of 2010; they worked with producer and engineer John Feldmann who's worked with Atreyu, The Used, and Goldfinger to write and record their debut full-length “Best Kind Of Mess”. But in between the writing and recording process Get Scared decided to release another EP which was self-titled and included rerecorded versions of previous tracks "Setting Yourself Up for Sarcasm", and "If Only She Knew Voodoo Like I Do", but also included a brand new unreleased track titled “Deepest Cut”.

Now that years have gone by and the band has hit the road with such acts as Alesana, Escape The Fate, Black Veil Brides, and The Used their whereabouts have been discovered in little to no time at all making these rockers mere rockstars. As such, “Best Kind Of Mess” brings forth a variety of effort such as yet another rerecorded version of “If Only She Knew Voodoo Like I Do” being cut down to just “Voodoo” the intro features vocalist Nicolas Mathews "WHOA" adding "COME ON" before getting into focus of the entire song that really captures a more cleaner cut than its previous alternatives had to offer.

"Setting Yourself Up For Sarcasm", now goes by "Sarcasm", adds its own intro with a voiceover that says "And it is from this world of darkness which come the evil destructive focus of man" trailing off into the usual tune of upbeat energy with high pulsing guitar riffs that keeps the music flowing like no tomorrow. "You! Do you know that bad girls go to hell?" is yet another voiceover intro that comes off as being a mock-up of sexual foul play of the typical whore using "Whore" as the obvious title having the chorus sing "You’re a cheap little whore" being very catchy and ongoing.

"Hurt", "Drown", and “Wrong”, counter with one another by being the "ballad" markings of Get Scared's musical trait. These following the same path as The Used’s "Blue and Yellow" and "The Task of Ink" had done with that mellow soft rock. While “Moving”, and more aggressive hit “Hate” really pack it in with energy so impulsive it’s overwhelming.

Additional tracks not included on the album includes “Loneliness”, and previous released tune “Deepest Cut”, which are said to be included on this full-length release but perhaps are included on an extended release to become available at a later time. Overall Get Scared’s debut attempts at rockstar stardom are continually rising and will do so as far as I see it possible.


Utah metal rock punks Get Scared consisting of Nicolas Mathews (vocals), Johnny B (guitar), and Bradley Lloyd (guitar) who formed in the winter of 2008, got into writing, recording, engineering, and even touring after they self-released their debut EP "Cheap Tricks and Theatrics" in 2009. Following that lead them on their musical journey which lead them to get signed and release a follow-up self-titled EP. In between the releases the band released not one but two music videos for the tracks "If She Only Knew Voodoo Like I Do", and "Setting Yourself Up for Sarcasm". Now the unveiling of their debut "Best Kind Of Mess" via Universal Motown Records on July 12th will mark the band's dominance into the rock scene once more. Pre-orders are now available on Amazon.com.
