Scouts Honor

When Scouts Honor started is a bit fuzzy. In mid-2002, Jared Grabb (formerly of The Forecast) and Dustin Addis (The Forecast) started playing "heavy" country/blues/folk songs on acoustic guitars. For a time, these songs were performed as an extension of Jared Grabb's solo project. Soon after, they picked up the name Jared Grabb With Scouts Honor and eventually just became Scouts Honor. The instrumentation became electric around the same time.

Over the years, Scouts Honor has had a wide variety of incarnations. The band has taken the stage with anywhere from 2 to 4 members utilizing acoustic guitars, electric guitars, bass, and drums. Scouts Honor's ranks have included members of The Forecast (Victory Records), Minsk (Relapse Records), Polar Bear Club (Red Leader), Tina Sparkle, The Amazing Kill-o-watts, The Serpent Son, Low Red Land, XRiseAboveX, Angeltread, Eta Carina, Cherry Lane, Har Meggido, and Mayhew The Traitor.

Scouts Honor have released records with No Idea Records (Hot Water Music, Against Me!, Planes Mistaken for Stars), Thinker Thought Records (The Forecast, The Great Redneck Hope), Smith 7 Records, Armada In Flames, Red Lounge Records (Germany), and OTR Records.

Over the course of five years, Scouts Honor have played over 400 shows (including a European tour) and shared the stage with such great performers as Valient Thorr, Hot Water Music, Riverboat Gamblers, Dead To Me, The Draft, Fiya, Chuck Ragan, No Trigger, Fifth Hour Hero, Against All Authority, Leftover Crack, Planes Mistaken For Stars, Minus The Bear, Glass & Ashes, The Velvet Teen, Lords, Headlights, Metal Hearts, Bear Vs. Shark, Fight Paris, The Blackout Pact, The Forecast, Turmoil, The Great Redneck Hope, These Arms Are Snakes, Spitalfield, Aloha, William E. Whitmore, June, Allister, October Fall, So They Say, Ten Grand, and Denison Witmer.
