Scarling. is an American noise pop band from Los Angeles, whose core members are Jessicka and Christian Hejnal-Addams. The band formed in 2002. They have released two albums, Sweet Heart Dealer and So Long, Scarecrow.
The band's name comes from a fictional word created by singer/fine artist Jessicka in 1999. In 2001 the definition appeared on Scarling's website: "Middle English, from Old English scaerlinc, from scar+ -ling, -linc -ling; akin to Old High German von scar, Latin scarnos 1. the smallest mark on your heart left by the healing of a severe injury. 2. he or she who is scarred densely almost emotionless. 3. a mentally challenged/physically handicapped sibling of a normal star. 4. a band from Los Angeles. The "S" in Scarling. is sometimes lower case and the word itself ends in a full stop or period."
Scarling. was formed by singer Jessicka Fodera (known simply as Jessicka) after the dissolution of her band, Jack Off Jill, and guitarist Christian Hejnal. They were introduced by guitarist Lisa Leveridge, and they began rehearsing and recording in a San Fernando Valley performance space; after the pair had written a number of songs together, they began a search for additional band members and eventually cemented the first and very short-lived lineup of Scarling.
Well, I'm waxing the poetic and waning in denial
When you say go go stop no go
And I'm feeling quite pathetic -Until you flash a smile
You say go go stop no go
These drinks make me feel dizzy -If you leave, I pray you'll miss me
Say go go stop no go
But there's a secret in your laughter - A happily ever after
When You say go go stop no go
AND NOW YOU KNOW
We are the music makers the lovers and the breeders
And we are the new risk takers
The narcissistic feeders
Well, we kiss like painted tigers
But we bleed like no one else
Cause, we are the music makers
Consumed with just ourselves
I wake up every morning and feel like a statistic
You say go go stop no go
It's your prickly aggression - That makes me optimistic
You say go go stop no go
Often sick with my confusion which makes you disillusioned
You say go go stop no go
But all is right when you complain
As you scowl in the rain
Then you say go go stop no go
AND NOW YOU KNOW THAT
We are the music makers the lovers and the breeders
And we are the new risk takers
The narcissistic feeders
Well, we kiss like painted tigers
But we bleed like no one else
Cause, we are the music makers
Consumed with just ourselves
Hey..........
HEYYYYYYY
STOP, GO, STAY
BUT HEY
STOP GO STAY STAY
STOP GO STAY
