Scary Kids Scaring Kids was a mid-2000’s post-hardcore band from Gilbert, Arizona. Members included Tyson Stevens on vocals, guitarists Chad Crawford and Steve Kirby, DJ Wilson on bass, Derek Smith on drums, and keyboardist Pouyan Afkary. They released an EP, After Dark, and two albums (The City Sleeps in Flames and Scary Kids Scaring Kids). Pouyan posted a statement in late 2009 declaring the group disbanded. They embarked on a “farewell” tour in early 2010 as a goodbye to fans. Tyson Stevens unfortunately passed away due to an overdose on heroin in 2014.

After years of inactivity, the band’s Twitter removed all of tweets in 2016, revealing a new bio, “Coming soon…”, that many fans believe is teasing a reunion or the potential recording of new material.
