Scalps

Newcastle, Australia (2004 - present) Scalps is a solo project of Chris Hearn, of Alps. Scalps was begun at the same time as Alps, with the intention of being an antithesis project, a kind of evil twin.

Alps became a busy project, releasing ten records over the next four years and touring constantly internationally.
