After storming South By South a couple of years back Scanners released their full debut ‘Violence Is Golden’ to widespread critical acclaim - it’s melodic with bittersweet lyrics filling the void between the mainstream grandiose pop of The Killers and the raw credibility of Sonic Youth.
“I'm bloody obsessed with snarling London rawk types Scanners whose singer Sarah is a shining bright star in its ascendancy. They're like all the songs Kim Gordon sings in Sonic Youth, but played by Motorhead at their early-'80s peak.” – NME
"Scanners might well be providing us with Yeah Yeah Yeahs style thrashy kicks in the new year...dripping with highs and lows...alluring throughout" – Artrocker
Their infectious tunes are both beautiful and dark as well as upbeat crystalline harmonies... brooding Mazzy Star-like epics... deathlessly sexy electronic pop..." - Drowned In Sound
