History

Scarling was formed by singer Jessicka Fodera (known simply as Jessicka) after the dissolution of her band, Jack Off Jill. She and guitarist Christian Hejnal began rehearsing and recording in a San Fernando Valley performance space; after the pair had written a number of songs together, they began a search for additional band members and eventually cemented the first and very short lived lineup of Scarling. The lineup consisted of Fodera, Hejnal, drummer Garey Snider, guitarist Rickey Lime and bassist Kyle Lime.

In early 2003 Jessicka was introduced to Long Gone John, owner of Sympathy Records, by mutual friend Mark Ryden. On March 19, 2003 Scarling's debut single, "Band Aid Covers the Bullet Hole", (produced by Chris Vrenna) was released on the Sympathy for the Record Industry label. Its cover featured an illustration called "Wound 39" by Mark Ryden. In April 2004, Scarling released their first album, the seven-song, thirty-three-minute Sweet Heart Dealer, which again utilized the team of Ryden and Vrenna.

In Autumn 2004, Scarling was invited to join the lineup of the Robert Smith-curated Curiosa Festival, performing on select West Coast dates alongside Interpol, The Rapture, Mogwai, Cursive, The Cooper Temple Clause, and longtime inspirations The Cure. Smith described the band's music as "dark, desperate, chaotic, gorgeous pop music, the sound of the end of the world" and nominated "Sweet Heart Dealer" for the 2004 Shortlist Music Prize. Three weeks before joining the Curiosa tour, drummer Garey Snider was briefly replaced by Samantha Maloney and soon after by current drummer Beth Gordon. After finishing out their dates on the Curiosa Festival, Scarling with the help of friend and fill in bassist Radio Sloan, continued to play around Los Angeles and San Francisco at high profile indie clubs such as, The Bottom Of The Hill, Spaceland and The Troubadour.
