"OK, so I'll start by admitting a weakness for female-fronted alternative rock. Also kudos have to be given for the rather distinctive art work from Mark Ryden used on the cover.



Band Aid Covers The Bullet Hole - Other than having such an intriguing name, the first thing that sprang to mind when I head this track was "Lush turned evil". It skillfully mixes a seemingly jolly verse with a harsher guitar laden chorus



H/Q - Gets going straight away and doesn't stop. A pretty decent track in itself - the kind that makes your foot start tapping - but I found it to be the least memorable of the single



Creep - Well, I like the Radiohead version, and I always think that you shouldn't do a cover unless you've got something new to bring to the track. Scarling do that admirably, with Jessicka providing a both a sweet and distorted, anguished vocal performance, against a crashing guitar backdrop.



I have to take this chance to plug Queen Adreena (a little-known band from the UK) - if you like Scarling, I think there's a good chance you'll appreciate QA, too (and their live performance is something else ... )"

"Jessicka's newest display of beautiful brutality has finally made its debut. This CD is absolutely amazing. It makes you want to scream, cry, or just sit on your bedroom floor in awe of the emotion this music can capture. Even if you've heard the songs before, i suggest you BUY THIS CD! It is much more polished than the mp3 versions on the site. For all of you that enjoyed Jessicka back in her JOJ days she's back, and she certainly has grown up. However, the lyrics are still incredible, her voice is still sweet and sugary, and her screams will still make your blood run cold. I can hardly find words to describe how amazing this band is, you just have to hear them for yourselves. SO GET THIS CD AND LISTEN UP! It'll be the best decision you've ever made."

Beautiful.

"As their first single, Band-Aid Covers the Bullet Hole serves as a twisted and melodic theme song to hallucinating insomniacs everywhere. The song is a freight train of bizarre lyrics and thundering music, ready to run you over so hard it'll knock you back to the womb and still leave you thirsting for more.H/C, about a "fabulous gay drug user", shows a still harder edge to Scarling., as the heaviest song on this CD and probably to be one of the harder songs on the album. The profane and yet irresistably catchy lyrics will leave you thinking, "What the HECK..." and "Oh my god, that's brilliant" at same time.Creep, a spectacularly executed Radiohead cover, shows a particularly fragile and effectively brutal side to Scarling., with Jessicka's signature "scream til it bleeds" vocals. Jessicka's violent screams, the throbbing bass, and the background of breaking glass will be throbbing in your head for days."
