My Favorite Scar was a Dutch dark rock band formed in 2008 by brothers Jeroen "Jay" (vocals) and Eef "Evan" van Riet (guitar), Patrick "Pat" de Kok (bass guitar) and Daan "Dan" Janzing (guitar).
The band disbanded in 2014 due to a lack of success.
When Evan, Pat and Jay played in Feeler, they met producer Oscar Holleman (Within Temptation, Krezip, Gorefest, After Forever). He was interested in what they were doing, but the material was so different and not fitting for Feeler, that they decided to quit Feeler and dissolve that band – and go ahead with My Favorite Scar instead. Daan (ex-Kingfisher Sky) joined the new band in a month and Stephen (ex-Within Temptation, ex-Orphanage) joined within a year after that.
My Favorite Scar supported such bands as KISS, Megadeth, Disturbed and Epica. In 2009, the band played at the in Ukraine.
After two years of recording, on August 6, 2010, MFS realised the self-titled debut album My Favorite Scar via Universal. It received splendid reviews in both national and international magazines and webzines. Interviews with the band appeared in all the big magazines in the Netherlands. The single "Kingsize" got plays on national radio and was put on heavy rotation on MTV. The debut album entered the Dutch Album Charts at № 29 in the first week. The new single "This Poison Love" that was written with Ben Moody (ex-Evanescence and We Are The Fallen) was set for release on October 22, 2010.
