Scars on Broadway is Daron Malakian's own vehicle, the Los Angeles project of the man better known as the guitarist, composer and second vocalist of System of a Down. The self-titled debut arrived on Interscope in July 2008, and Malakian's credits in the band run to guitar, bass, drums, keyboards and lead vocals. "They Say" and "World Long Gone" have the same jittery, whiplash energy as his old band, with the riffs chopping and the melodies veering off in odd directions.
He filled out the lineup with drummer John Dolmayan, guitarist Franky Perez, bassist Dominic Cifarelli and keyboardist Danny Shamoun. It didn't last: by late 2008 the band was on hiatus, Malakian admitting he simply didn't have the heart for touring. Reformations in 2010 and 2012 came to nothing, but he eventually brought the name back as Daron Malakian and Scars on Broadway, releasing Dictator in 2018 and Addicted to the Violence in 2025.
