In case you haven’t heard of Scarlett O’Hara, here’s a brief education for ya.

What began since April 13th 2008, Scarlett O’Hara was formed by Six friends in the DEEP heart of Texas. Starting with Rene (Guitar/Vocals) and Eddie (Vocals) writing a few songs, they quickly met Alek (Guitar) and Andrew (Bass).Together they have mixed their material to form their passion for Hardcore/Screamo. From there, the four friends have been honored to share the stage with such bands as Emarosa(Rise Records) & The Armada(Foundation Recordings). Soon after Edwin came into the picture (Drums) with Morgan (Synth) and both became part of family instantly. The mission of Scarlett O’Hara is to create a new idea of music & reach out to their viewers with their passion! —Stickam Profile

Whew, now that we know a little bit more about these young guys, Rise Records is pleased to announce they have just signed Scarlett O’Hara, and will begin collaborating on a new album, to be released sometime in the fall 2010. Here’s what the label had to say about the signing.

Don’t let their name fool you, there’s not even a shred of southern charm or grace to be found with this metalcore outfit. Rather, this south Texas six-piece is all about ruthless guitar riffs and unapologetic breakdowns. Scarlett O’Hara are on the brink of unveiling their debut album this fall which will be recorded and produced by Joey Sturgis (The Devil Wears Prada, Attack Attack!, For The Fallen Dreams). Driven to stake a claim for themselves coupled with an overwhelming amount of momentum, Scarlett O’Hara are standing by to deliver one of 2010’s most awaited albums.
