Australian alternative metal outfit Full Scale brought together vocalist Ezekiel Ox, guitarist Jimmy Tee, bassist Robkaay, and drummer Crutey. Early shows around their native Perth quickly opened doors to larger stages in Melbourne and Sydney, generating mounting excitement by 2003. That same year the band issued the Black Arrows and White Arrows EPs on their own Popstar imprint, where their abrasive, hard-edged attack—driven by Ox’s seething vocals—drew attention from major labels in the United States. Full Scale later secured a deal with Columbia, resulting in the release of a self-titled album in early 2005 that reworked several tracks from the EPs alongside fresh material.
