The History of The S.C.U.M. - Japanese HC/noisecore band formed in 1988, originally from Nagasaki, Kyushu. They were originally called Acid but changed the name to The S.C.U.M. later the same year. According to the singer, their biggest influences were The Swankys and Gai. Two demo tapes were released in 1988 and 1990. The singer left the band around 1989, relocated to Tachikawa city in Tokyo to continue playing as The S.C.U.M. with different members, while the original S.C.U.M. in Nagasaki also still existed with new lineup at the same time. The (Tokyo) S.C.U.M. released the "Bouryoku-Chudoku" (= Violence Addict) flexi in 1989, then later moved back to Kyushu (Hakata), got back together a few years after and released the CD called "Chudoku-Kanjya" (= Addicts) in 1991. The CD contains a few re-recorded version of the songs originally appeared on the flexi. The two demo tapes put out by the "original" S.C.U.M. (Nagasaki) were compiled and later released as the "Inconstant - Hardcore Box Tape" limited cassette by King's World Records in 1992.
