Scared Straight was a Nardcore Punk band from Simi Valley, California.
The band was formed in 1983 by a group of friends, Scott Radinsky and Dennis Jagard, who wanted to start a band and enter a "Battle of the Bands" competition at a local skate rink.

In the early 1990's they changed their name to Ten Foot Pole. One of the reasons for the name change was to move away from the "straight-edge" reputation that followed the band with a name like Scared Straight. Ten Foot Pole has a reputation of being a more aggressive, hardcore punk band that likes to party and have fun.
