Full Scale (formerly known as Full Scale Deflection) was an Australian alternative metal band that formed in Perth, Western Australia in 1998.〔Spencer et al, (2007) (FULL SCALE DEFLECTION ) entry. Retrieved 27 February 2010.〕 The band relocated to Melbourne, Victoria in 2001. Full Scale released two Extended Plays; ''Black Arrows'' and ''White Arrows'' both in 2003 on Popstar Records. They also released a self-titled studio album issued in 2005 on Columbia Records called ''Full Scale''. ==History== Full Scale was formed in 1998 in Perth under the name Full Scale Deflection. By 1999, they consisted of Ezekiel the Ox on vocals, Nic Frey on drums, Chris Frey on bass guitar, Forrester Savell on synthesiser, and Jimmy Tee on guitar. Matt Crute (aka Crutey) soon replaced Nic Frey on drums. Rob Kaay replaced Chris Frey on bass guitar by 2000.〔 They released the album ''Symptoms of Chaos'' on 11 November 2000. The band dropped the word Deflection from their name and then moved to Melbourne in 2001. Despite playing their original songs for some of their shows, they developed new music. Rob Kaay and Andrew McGuiness (a lawyer) formed a record label called Popstar Records, and Full Scale released their debut Extended Play, ''Black Arrows'' in March 2003. This was followed by a second Extended Play, ''White Arrows'' in August. There was also a brief line-up change; Tee left the band, being replaced by Tristan Ross for approximately 6 months. Under the management of Rob Kaay, the band toured the east coast extensively. According to Allmusic's reviewer, Johnny Loftus, "the band's hard-hitting, gristly sound -- led by Ox's vocal seethe -- caught the interest of American majors". By the end of the year, Tee rejoined and the band moved to Los Angeles where they were signed to Columbia Records (SonyBMG) and released their self-titled album, ''Full Scale'', on 8 March 2005. After the album's release they toured the United States as the opening act for US rock band, Hed PE. Upon returning to Australia, Crutey and Tee decided to play one last show with the band and Ben Brennan (Seven, Full Scale Revolution) played his first show with Full Scale on bass guitar at the Corner Hotel in Melbourne on 17 March 2006. Ezekiel Ox moved on to a new group, Mammal.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Full Scale (band)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
