History

edit

Scared Straight was a punk band from Simi Valley, California. The band was formed in 1983 by a group of friends and was originally called S.O.F. Original members were Scott Radinsky,[3]

Scott [Radinsky], Steve [Carnan], and Dennis [Jagard] are. Me and James [Harris] aren't really . I mean we drink a little every now and then, but we don't do heavy drugs or anything.[4]

On 4 April 2009, the band ended a three-year hiatus with a show at the Riorock festival in Belgium,[5] followed by some shows in California in late 2011 and a short tour in Australia in November 2012.
