The band is influenced by a variety of artists and styles. Artists like Placebo, Radiohead, Sigur Ros, Pink Floyd and Muse are all funnelled through Scream Daisy's unique approach to alternative music. The band's embrace for such a wide spectrum of music enables them to constantly experiment with sounds and melodies while at the same time producing songs which are both instantly recognisable and unforgettable.
Releasing their first radio single, Room 7, in 2001 Scream Daisy became an instant household name in Malta, during a time when local music was deemed inferior to the international scene and not given proper credit on Maltese media. The band's first public appearance after this release, during the Heineken Jamming Festival of 2001, made the Maltese public realise that local bands and acts can be as good as or better than foreign acts.
After a number of TOP 10 singles, their debut album “In Case of Emergency” was released in 2002. This album was an instant chart topper and in that year Scream Daisy won 2 awards at the MALTA MUSIC AWARDS, one for BEST SINGLE and one for BEST LIVE BAND.
Scream Daisy have since then matured both musically, with the release of their much awaited self entitled second album in 2007, and performance wise, proof of which is the constant demand for them in the local music circuit.
The band has also won the BEST VIDEO award at the MALTA MUSIC AWARDS of 2007 for their song PRETTY, a video which was entirely produced by Maltese talent in Malta.
The band is currently working on material for their third album and performing at selected events throughout 2009.

Pretty
Scream Daisy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Katrina was a girl i once knew
Her eyes like the sky
And a smile that always felt so true
If you could only explain
How i found myself here without her
And now im stuck with the pain,
Chorus: pretty, as you are
Pretty, you're a star,
You're pretty
I think i like you
I think i do
Whenever she smiled,
My world would somehow feel so new,
And just once in a while,
She makes a dreamer's dream come true
If you could only explain
How i found myself here without her
And now im stuck here with the pain,
Cause i know i meant nothing to her
As you were walking away
And there was nothing left to say
If you would only turn back
And tell me that you'll take me with you
Cause you're
Pretty yes you are
Pretty you're my star
Pretty
I think i like you

I remember her well
I have a clear memory of a girl named Katrina
Katrina was a girl I once knew
I have known and interacted with a girl named Katrina in the past
Her eyes like the sky
Katrina's eyes resembled the color of the sky
And a smile that always felt so true
Her smile seemed genuine and honest every time I saw her
If you could only explain
I wish someone could help me understand
How I found myself here without her
I don't know how I ended up in this situation of missing her
And now I'm stuck with the pain,
I am currently dealing with immense emotional turmoil
Cause I know I meant nothing to her
I believe that I held no significance to her
Whenever she smiled,
Every time she smiled
My world would somehow feel so new,
I felt like my world would transform into something better
And just once in a while,
Occasionally, once in a blue moon
She makes a dreamer's dream come true
She made me feel as if my aspirations and desires could become a reality
As you were walking away
While you were moving farther from my position
And there was nothing left to say
The moment rendered me speechless
If you would only turn back
I hope you would look back at least once
And tell me that you'll take me with you
Tell me that you'll take me along with you
Cause you're
Because you are
Pretty yes you are
You are truly beautiful
Pretty you're my star
You're my shining light
Pretty
You possess an extraordinary beauty
I think I like you
I believe I have feelings for you
