About

Get Scared is an American post-hardcore band from Layton, Utah, formed in 2008. The band released their first EP, Cheap Tricks and Theatrics, in 2009, followed by a self-titled EP in 2010. Their debut studio album, Best Kind of Mess, came out in July 2011. Following lineup changes involving members Nicholas Matthews and Joel Faviere, the band signed with Fearless Records and released their second album, Everyone's Out to Get Me, in 2013. Their third studio album, Demons, arrived in 2015 and marked a shift toward a more metalcore-influenced sound. Get Scared released their fourth and final album, The Dead Days, in 2019 while on hiatus. Vocalist Nicholas Matthews subsequently stated that the band had broken up due to internal conflicts. The band announced a reunion in 2022, and as of 2025, they have been writing new music together.
