Z-Scars formed in the early 2000s with Jaan Lepp on vocals, Reimo Sild on guitar, Rain Parn on bass, and Indrek Mällo on drums. Their 2003 single 'Ja Tu Esi Viens' became a breakout hit, an ethereal ballad that connected with listeners. They followed with albums like 'Tulilind' in 2004 and 'Külma Süda' in 2006, the latter showing a more experimental side.
In 2005, the band faced plagiarism allegations over 'Ja Tu Esi Viens,' which damaged their reputation. Around this time, members struggled with personal issues including addiction and mental health challenges, particularly Lepp's battles with depression and alcohol abuse. These difficulties led to a hiatus starting in 2007.
Z-Scars returned in 2010 with the album 'Jäljed,' marking a period of rebuilding. Songs like 'Starp Tevi Un Mani' and 'Tev Es Nemelotu' continued their tradition of emotionally direct writing. The band's catalog, including tracks such as 'Tu Tuvojies Sev' and 'Tev Nepietiek,' maintains a following among listeners who respond to their particular blend of melody and lyrical introspection.
