Full Scale

Australian alternative metal combo Full Scale featured vocalist Ezekiel Ox, guitarist Jimmy Tee, bassist Robkaay, and drummer Crutey. Successful gigging in their hometown of Perth led Full Scale to bigger venues in Melbourne and Sydney, and by 2003 considerable buzz was building. The Black Arrows and White Arrows EPs appeared through their own label, Popstar, the same year, and the band's hard-hitting, gristly sound -- led by Ox's vocal seethe -- caught the interest of American majors. Full Scale eventually signed with Columbia, and a self-titled full-length appeared in early 2005. It featured re-recorded versions of songs from the EPs as well as new material.
