Trophy Scars is an American experimental rock band from Morristown, New Jersey, United States, with blues and psychedelic influences.

[1] Trophy Scars song catalog is embossed by major themes such as time, memory, language, and romantic tragedy.

[2] Known for their intimate live shows and independent booking techniques, Trophy Scars evokes a strong DIY ethic.

After several years, and passing through several musicians, the group, which eventually included long standing members Joshua Weinstein on bass and Mike Schipper on guitar, began playing local shows and gaining a modest but dedicated following.

When fans presented a high demand for recorded material, Trophy Scars decided to establish themselves as a serious music group.

Studio personnel is also a rotating door of auxiliary musicians with producer, Chris Badami, as the sole stationary component to all of Trophy Scars' albums.

[11] In mid-2007, Trophy Scars rented a beach house in Charleston, South Carolina to begin work on their follow-up full length to Alphabets.

[4] When the writing was completed for Bad Luck, the band invested their savings into a European tour, but was canceled last minute by the headlining act.

Unable to get a refund on their European travel expenses and with their recording contract with the Death Scene dissolved, the band could not afford to tour or raise money for the album.

[12] In September 2009, Trophy Scar supported Fear Before and Baptized in Blood on a full Canadian tour titled "The Hunt for Shred October".

The offering included a new, orchestral song, "August, 1980", inspired by Bram Stoker's Dracula[15] and the Saddest Landscape's "So Lightly Thrown."

[1] Although a departure in sound from the previous two releases, Never Born, Never Dead was met with strong praise and elected the #1 Best EP of the Year by Sputnik Music users.

Jones states the album was heavily influenced by an intense personal relationship, his brief relocation to Los Angeles, and film director David Lynch.

[1] A DVD containing videos that span their career, as well as documentary footage and a live concert recorded in November, 2010, is presumably in the works for an undetermined release date.

Jerry Jones started the band Super Snake in 2012[23] with Vinnie Fiore, Jesse Mariani, & John Pinho.

They have since released 2 EPs (titled Summer Girls and Rider) and 2 full-length records (Leap of Love and Volume 4: Influenza Forever).
