Full Scope: A Deep Dive Into the Band’s Journey and Sound
Full Scope’s journey began when a group of musicians, some of whom had played together in previous projects, came together with a shared vision of creating a new hardcore band. After their prior projects dissolved, Robbie Draper (guitar), Blake Desmond (vocals), Devin Tross (drums), and Franklin Hart (bass) came together, bringing their own experiences and passion to a fresh musical start.
As Full Scope began to explore their sound, they drew inspiration from a wide range of hardcore, punk, and metal influences, particularly the vibrant Baltimore hardcore scene. Blending the raw intensity of classic hardcore with the melodic nuances of modern punk, they set out to fuse these influences into something fresh and exciting.
The Importance of Community
The essence of Full Scope is not just in the music they create, but in the community they foster. They emphasize the importance of supporting local bands and DIY venues, believing that the hardcore scene thrives on collaboration and mutual respect. The band’s dedication to their roots in the Frederick and Baltimore areas reflects their desire to give back to the community that has supported them.
With several songs written and a clear vision for their sound, Full Scope is focused on recording their music and performing live. They aim to create a strong presence in the hardcore scene, striving to connect with audiences both locally and beyond. The upcoming release of their single, “Cut the Lights,” marks an exciting milestone in their journey.
