Scooter Ward (born Ronald Ward on May 7, 1970) is an American musician. He was the founding member and lead singer of the Jacksonville, Florida hard rock band, Cold, which disbanded on November 17th 2006, and has recenly reformed in 2008 for recording a new album which is expected to be released in 2009.
Career
In 1986, Ward formed the band Grundig along with several other students; Sam McCandless, Jeremy Marshall, and Matt Loughran at Fletcher High School in Neptune Beach, Florida. The band played their first gig in 1990 at a club called the Spray. In 1992, the band released an 8 song EP called "Into Everything" and moved to Atlanta, Georgia. Three and a half years later in 1995, Grundig broke up and Ward moved back to Jacksonville, Florida, where he, Sam McCandless, Kelly Hayes, and Pat Lally formed the band Diablo. Diablo would only last about 3 months. At the end of that three month period Grundig reformed under the name Cold and signed a 6 album record deal with A&M Records. Ward would remain in Cold until February 2006 when, after several line-up changes and battles with record labels, the band decided to break up. Scooter Ward and Sam McCandless promptly began working on their new project The Witch, which has McCandless has since left. The project has been renamed twice, When November Falls and now The Killer and The Star. The debut album is expected in 2008. It has also been confirmed on The Killer and The Star's myspace that Cold is getting back together for a reunion album. The album is planned to come out in the Fall of 2009 featuring the original line-up.
