Today I'm launching a Patreon: patreon.com/scopedexposure

After 5 and half years of running this project fully DIY, the time has come to take a step forward and try to take Scoped to the next level. I believe we’ve made a mark through documenting 400+ bands that span the globe, producing over 250 podcasts episodes, and doing our part to put Western Canada on people’s hardcore radar. This project truly has given me purpose beyond writing and playing music, and it’s been a long time coming for me to take this leap and see how far this thing can go with community support.

If you’ve felt like I’ve helped your scene, your band, your fest, your label, or even just been a quality source of DIY related content over the years, it would be a mean a lot to me if you could sign up and spread the word about the Patreon.

This is a new chapter for Scoped Exposure, and I’d love if you would join and be apart of. Find all perks we're offering as well as the full announcement video on our Patreon home page.

Thank you. 🧡

This is PUNITIVE DAMAGE from this past weekend in Calgary

WATCH HERE : https://youtu.be/orXpU9Z0BWE

Something special is happening in Alberta hardcore scene right now, and this past weekend was a true testament of that. One of PNW’s best made their long overdue Calgary debut, and holy s**t PUNI D fu***ng rocks. Last week they dropped their new record “This is the Blackout” on Atomic Action! Records, and it’s absolutely worthy of putting into your rotation. Also want to give props to Wild Rose Records for putting on such a dope show for this tour.

NEW SCOPED EXPOSURE : WITNESS CHAMBER at in Calgary is now live!

WATCH HERE: https://youtu.be/dOpBPy_8BeM

As much as I’d like to have this caption just say “BOISE”, I gotta give you 3 reasons why you got to check out this WITNESS CHAMBER set:

1) This is Idaho’s next powerhouse act in the making imo. Heavy ass riffs that make any non-straight edge person shiver in their boots. Nothing but menacing music.

2) This entire band committed to wearing pullover hoodies for their entire set. No wardrobe change in between, and this venue was a convection oven of heat and sweat. I’ve never seen a full band commit to a hoodie set in this way, and that’s worth noting.

3) Last, and most importantly not least, BOISE!

NEW SCOPED EXPOSURE : NEVER ENDING GAME at Hold Your Ground Fest is now live!

WATCH HERE: https://youtu.be/drag8SmE6qw

The almighty NEG at HYG is now live on the YouTube channel. Wild that this was NEVER ENDING GAME’s first time out of country with Detroit being so close to the Ontario border. If there’s anything you can learn from this set, it’s that even stage potato’s aren’t safe from the mosh of a NEG set.

NEW SCOPED EXPOSURE : INCISION at in Calgary is now live!

WATCH HERE: https://youtu.be/oV91tzA7xj8

Alright metalcore freaks, here’s a band to add to your rotation. INCISION is a WCHC band I’ve been looking forward to seeing ever since their debut EP they dropped last year. Wow was I blown away by their live performance. This is a Vancouver band that needs more love, so if you like what you hear, check them out. INCISION plays in Vancouver tomorrow with DENIAL OF LIFE and WITNESS CHAMBER.

NEW SCOPED EXPOSURE : INGROWN at Hold Your Ground Fest is now live!

WATCH HERE: https://youtu.be/YrP4ai_O4g8

Boise’s best. Plain and simple. Last time I saw INGROWN was in a church basement to 40 people. It’s surreal to see how much this band has grown since then. One of two sets from HYG is now live on the YouTube channel.

09/23/2022

NEW SCOPED EXPOSURE : PAIN OF TRUTH at Hold Your Ground Fest is now live!

WATCH HERE: https://youtu.be/qzPW_FBttmA

Kicking off HYG live sets with the strongest band on the bill. First of two PAIN OF TRUTH sets are now live on the YouTube channel. I can feel that when a full length of PAIN OF TRUTH drops, it’ll be the nail in the coffin of this band’s world domination. Share this s**t.

NEW SCOPED EXPOSURE : Kharma at Scoped 5 Year Fest is now live!

NEW SCOPED EXPOSURE : Gates to Hell at Scoped 5 Year Fest is now live! Watch here: https://youtu.be/WdE8ehOCwlc

If you don’t know this band, start paying attention. GATES TO HELL from Louisville has been on a warpath these days playing anywhere you can imagine in North America. They’re currently routing through the West Coast with on their way to in Ontario. This is one of the most highly suggested sets for us to put out from the fest, and I wholeheartedly agree.

NEW SCOPED EXPOSURE : SUNAMI at Scoped 5 Year Fest is now live! Watch here: https://youtu.be/KyQc2OFuzoI

It was surreal to have one of California’s most talked about bands play Canada for the very first time. Legendary s**t that I’m grateful to have been a part of. Lots more Scoped 5 Year sets to come, so make sure you’re subbed on the YouTube channel to not miss anything.

WAKE - SCOPED SESSIONS : https://youtu.be/ggy-ZLLzIs8

Almost exactly a year, we got hit up by our good friends in WAKE to do a pre-recorded live set as a part of Metal Blade Records presents Decibel Magazine's 200th Anniversary Issue Show Extremely Ex-Stream in April 2021. This session has been sitting on a hard drive since then, and now feels like a good time to drop it for anyone who missed the initial premiere.

If this is your first time hearing WAKE, it’s time to catch up. Easily one of the best bands to come out of Calgary, and the entire Scoped team is beyond grateful for all the cool projects we’ve gotten to do with them. What they have next with Metal Blade is going to be massive, so if you like this, make sure to keep up with them.
