SCANTRON has been there and done that and isn't afraid to tell you about it. He also doesn't have amnesia because his music is a chronology of every euphonic influence come to pass. A solo artist from the DJ friendly duo, Shotgun Start, Scantron's sound takes you back to old school Chicago house, the adolescence of 80's hip hop, and through the timelessness of electronica. He isn't afraid to give it to you straight, and has a no holds barred approach to his lyricism and storytelling. It's a refreshing take on the freedom of expression - Scranton's blend of unstructured hip-hop and pop with his tongue and cheek lyrics is the perfect ear candy.
