You can count the amount of 2013 pop-punk albums from Columbia, SC on one finger. It’s got to be lonely at the top and bottom of your local genre and scene, and that obviously has its advantages and disadvantages. For one, you’re the go to band when it comes to touring bills that need a […]

Browsing the ever so popular album streaming site Bandcamp.com about two years ago I came across Release the Dog and their first 2 song release Release the F.R.O.G. and instantly fell for it. “At Arms Length” opens with an indelible guitar riff that will bounce around in your head after just one listen and “Cake” opens […]

Continue Reading →WUSC Wednesdays: It’s A Wrap
This Thursday will be the final regularly scheduled Diagnosis of the semester on WUSC from 2 p.m.-4 p.m. Instead of the usual five new featured artists, I will be taking a look back at my favorites from the semester. Let’s re-cap five of those, shall we? Johnny Flynn is a South African actor, poet, and singer/songwriter. […]

You into free music and good tunes? I know you are. I’ve kept a database of the best songs of 2013 over on Spotify and it happens to include a lot of the artist included here on the 2013 Indie Almanac sampler. And look who they have batting lead off. OUR very own Toro […]

We haven’t seen Apache Relay and Trampled by Turtles live together since we were packed into a courtyard with thousands of fellow SXSW attendees in March of 2011. They are a damn fine combo package for a show. Photos by Daniel McCord Tweet
Giving thanks is just as fun as taking thanks, so I’d like to give a little thanks this evening in the form of a short little Thanksgiving tale for you. Think of it as a dessert to fit right next to your mashed p’tatters. Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All. There’s no real way you […]
The number one album on WUSC‘s charts released Monday, Nov. 25 was Tennis‘ Small Sound. Released Nov. 5, the EP is the husband and wife duo’s third release. Patrick Riley (the husband) and Alaina Moore (you guessed it–the wife) met while they were college students in Colorado. After graduation, the pair spent seven months sailing […]
“We’re here. Gray Pathfinder. See you soon,” said the text I received from Eric Delgado of Lakelands based band, Bless Yer Heart. I was set to meet and interview the band at a remote lake house in Waterloo, South Carolina and I had no idea how to get there. Eric and lead singer Brad Dixon […]
SceneSC contributor Cameron Powell had a blast at Savannah Stopover last year. Not only did he perform with his former band, but he got mixed up with some free moonshine in the hospitality tent. We all know music journalist and liquor are a fiery mix, but a musician/journalist mixed with free corn liquor […]
Sometimes I feel like I’m the only person who cares about South Carolina’s finest treasure, DMX. One time, at Prom at my high school, a DMX CD got stuck in the changer and we had to listen to “Party Up” on repeat for a good portion of the evening. I danced the entire time and […]
In 1975 hard rock legends Kiss came Alive! with their début live album which turned out to be their first release to break the Billboard top 10. The double disc album did more than that though, after its release Kiss saw a huge jump in attendance fueling their merch sales which has included everything from […]
While Best Coast released Fade Away in October of this year, it has taken me 29 days to develop a tolerance (–dare I say, enjoyment) for the camp’s latest EP. I will admit when Fade Away–the group’s first release since parting ways with label Mexican Summer and starting Jewel City–first came into WUSC rotation, I gave it a […]
We’re living in a rubble of what used to be the music industry. Sure, there is still tons of money out there. In fact the music industry is still a 40 billion dollar a year industry, or somewhere around there. Where does all that money go? Top dogs yo, but it sure isn’t going […]
Wrap your heard around this, the band Jimmy Eat World is 20 years old. They seem to have transcended aging in many ways, staying cool with the college crowd, seen by some as heroes, without becoming dated or washed up with their oldest fans. It’s even more amazing that they’ve done this in the “emo” genre, […]
We Roll Like Madmen have recently relocated to Columbia and are playing at New Brookland Tavern this Thursday November 14th (with Limousines, Dresses). I had the chance to chat with Jordan and Chris ahead of this week’s show. David: How do you guys like Columbia so far? Jordan: We’re having a great time brewing up collaborative […]
Their name might suggest something intrinsically calming, but The Fishing Journal is anything but. The trios late 2012 Ditch EP is an aggressive barrage of guitar, drums, and bass, crashing through six thick songs with little time for the listener to come up for air. Their live show is an equal onslaught of dimed fuzz and […]
Every once in a while, an album comes into the hands of WUSC that continues to receive just as many spins during the personal time of DJs as it receives on the air, even long after it has been phased out of rotation. Released August 20, Typhoon’s White Lighter is still carrying buzz in the station. Varying […]
Boreal Sons- Sparks (live) from Wood & Wires on Vimeo.
Recently, I interviewed Evan Acheson, the lead singer and piano player of Calgary, Canada-based band Boreal Sons. He was a lovely man and we chatted about haters, their new album, and maple syrup (not sure if we actually talked about that but it was implied). I’m very excited to be interviewing you today. Especially because of […]
