Full Scale was an aggressive nu-metal band that made considerable headway, eventually moving to the United States and releasing an album on Columbia Records before shattering apart. The group formed in Perth in 1998 under the name Full Scale Deflection with Chris Frey on bass and Nick Frey on drums; a change to the rhythm section with the addition of bassist Rob Kaay and drummer Matty C was followed by the release of the ''Symptoms of Chaos'' album which quickly sold out of its initial print run. The group won the WA leg of the National Campus Band Competition in 2000 and played the Perth Big Day Out in early 2001 before moving to Melbourne later in the year. After signing to Pop Star Records, the group shortened its name to Full Scale.

During 2002 Full Scale toured extensively, doing their own shows as well as supporting tours by [[Shihad]] and [[The Butterfly Effect]], while recording a wealth of tracks that would be released over the course of two EPs in the following year. In early 2003 Tee was fired and replaced by Ross but after releasing the "Black Arrows" EP and touring with [[Cog]], Tee rejoined the band. "White Arrows" was released mid-year and Full Scale then went to LA to record a full length album. On their return in January 2004, they supported '''Evanescence''' nationally, followed two months later by a tour with '''Sevendust'''.

Full Scale was an aggressive nu-metal band that made considerable headway, eventually moving to the United States and releasing an album on Columbia Records before shattering apart. The group formed in Perth in 1998 under the name Full Scale Deflection with Chris Frey on bass and Nick Frey on drums; a change to the rhythm section with the addition of bassist Rob Kaay and drummer Matty C was followed by the release of the Symptoms of Chaos album. The group won the WA leg of the National Campus Band Competition in 2000 and played the Perth Big Day Out in early 2001 before moving to Melbourne later in the year. After signing to Pop Star Records, the group shortened its name to Full Scale.

During 2002 Full Scale toured extensively, doing their own shows as well as supporting tours by Shihad and The Butterfly Effect, while recording a wealth of tracks that would be released over the course of two EPs in the following year. In early 2003 Jimmy Tee was fired and replaced by Tristan Ross but after releasing the Black Arrows EP and touring with Cog, Tee rejoined the band. White Arrows was released mid-year and Full Scale then went to LA to record a full length album.
