[edit] History
Scar Tissue is a music group that emerged from California's electro-industrial scene in 1990. The band released three CDs on 21st Circuitry Records (distributed by Caroline Records) and appeared on numerous industrial music compilations throughout the 1990s.
Most of Scar Tissue's live performances were in California, although they toured the United States three times: once as a headliner with opening band Luxt, and twice as the opening band for 16 Volt.
After 1999 the two main Scar Tissue members, Steve Watkins & Philip Caldwell, continued creating music under the name Form/Alkaline. A variety of Form/Alkaline CDRs were sold over the internet and at live shows, but there were no official releases under this name on any record label. In 2003 they began using the Scar Tissue name again, and since that time the Form/Alkaline material has only been available via requests to the band directly. In April 2008 some of the Form/Alkaline songs will be released on iTunes, Amazon and Napster as an album called "Form/Alkaline" by the band Scar Tissue.
Steve & Phil continue to write, record and perform individually, together, and with other projects.
