London, England alt rock band Scanners rose to international attention after catching the eye of label owner and world-renowned DJ Steve Aoki, who signed them to his influential indie label, Dim Mak Records. The band churned out three albums for Dim Mak and toured extensively across the US, UK, and Europe, sharing stages with the likes of Devo, Silversun Pickups, and The Presidents of the United States of America, to name a few. Prolific songwriters, who practically lived in the recording studio, Scanners amassed an impressive back catalog outside of their Dim Mak releases. In 2022, Fervor Records officially acquired the band’s extensive archives. Now, 22 years after recording the lost tune “Mirrorball,” it appears in the series premiere of the HBO Max docu-series “The Man Will Burn”. The new series traces the evolution of the Burning Man Project. Discover Scanners on the Fervor Records release “From The Hive” at your favorite music destination.
