The band originally featured former Angora singer John Corabi and former Racer X members guitarist Bruce Bouillet, bassist Juan Alderete, and drummer Scott Travis.

They changed their name from Saints or Sinners to The Scream shortly after Walt Woodward III replaced Scott Travis.

After releasing their 1991 debut Let It Scream on Hollywood Records, which included the singles "Man In The Moon" and "I Believe in Me", and playing an historic, one-off show at the Astoria Theatre in London on December 6th, Corabi left the band to replace the recently departed Vince Neil in Mötley Crüe.

The Scream split up and Fogarty, Bouillet and Alderete went on to form a brief musical project with John Moore and drummer Abe Laboriel Jr. called DC-10, which recorded and released the album Co-Burn.
