SCOOT (SCOTT)
Scoot Horton started out in the New York Hardcore Punk scene, playing in the bands Awkward Thought and then Shell Shock. He released several records and EPs with these bands as well as having the privilege of touring the US and Europe. In 2000, Awkward Thought released the LP ‘Mayday’ which many consider a hardcore classic.
Later Scoot went solo, releasing 2 albums of alt-folk/country songs while still maintaining his punk edge.
In 2019, Scoot made a guest appearance with the band No Redeeming Social Value at the Among the Angels Fest in Maastricht, NL. He recently collaborated with the Dutch band, Backfire! on the song ‘Lights Out’ released in 2023 on their album ‘Angry God.’
The concept of the Kulprits came to Scoot in a dream, and now it is coming to fruition. He is excited for everyone to hear this new band.
