Continue Reading →Record Store Day Around the State
Last week my roommate tweeted that every Saturday is Record Store Day for him. It’s become a little tradition to start off the weekend by flipping through piles of old vinyl to find a treasure at Papa Jazz. We’re well aware of how lucky we are to have a record store like Papa Jazz, with […]

I very quickly realized while watching the Trouble the Youth shorts in the Nickelodeon Theatre yesterday that these were not popcorn-munching movies. Comprised of five films with subjects ranging from the war in Afghanistan to school shootings, this block was pretty heavy. I was going to have to keep my chewing discreet. The first film, […]

Any modern music snob will tell you they know The Greatest Band You’ve Probably Never Heard Of. Someone they saw open for an up-and-comer at The Greatest Bar You’ve Probably Never Heard Of, or they discovered on The Greatest Music Website You’ve Probably Never Heard Of. But they’re all liars. I know The Greatest Band […]

Facebook Event I remember one time a couple of years ago when a Clemson student who worked at the radio station tweeted for her followers to unfollow SceneSC because “they only tweeted about Gamecock football” and something else that I can’t remember. Probably local music, but who knows. I’ve toned it back on the Gamecock […]

Bookin’ brought dancers from two different worlds in Memphis, Tennessee, together to create a brand new art form, while Strength and Beauty explored through the journeys of three different women the realities of being […]
This weekend kicked off Indie Grits and instilled in Columbians the collective feeling that we live in a pretty awesome place.

April 1 brought the release of Cloud Nothings’ Here And Nowhere Else and as expected, it is angst-ridden and full of energy. This album, particularly the first few tracks, feels like a crush. The moments of tension, longing, hope, embarrassment, frustration and pure desire are all interwoven. When you catch a smile from that crush, […]
From the opening notes of the new Stefanie Bannister album I could tell I would fall in love with the rest. That says a lot for an artist I’ve only heard one song from, and that was mid last year through a Fork and Spoon Casual Friday session. At the same time, I wasn’t even […]
Officially born only two years ago, Dig South has quickly become the Southeast’s top interactive festival celebrating both innovation and digital economy. The interactive conference keeps its focus on digital culture, but it also features a sideshow full of great music. Last years lineup knocked it out of the park with bands like Heyrocco, Brave […]
While touring the United States on the back of his last EP III, Cancellieri was already writing his follow-up Welcome to Mt. Pleasant. The album features an 11 song collection reflective of his travels and the emotions that come with being in a new town or state each night. Known for stripped down and beautiful arrangements, Cancellieri […]
After steadily playing shows for two years, Charlotte’s It Looks Sad has been reluctant to release new music. In late March they released their second song “Seasons” presumably off their upcoming release, whenever that might be. Their buzz in Charlotte has been steadily on the rise, but weekend runs across North and South Carolina have […]

Comedian Doug Stanhope thrives in non-traditional stand up venues, with his skill for combining the grotesque and brilliant, New Brookland Tavern should be a perfect fit. You might remember him from his brief stint co-hosting The Man Show or his excellent appearance on FX’s Louie, but he is so much more than that. On stage, […]
In 2012 Paste Magazine listed Milton Hall as the #3 artist to know in South Carolina. It was a kind and most likely unexpected nod to the underground artist who played hook laden lofi pop. This is Paste Magazine after-all. The ranking was however deserved. Numb World was an adventure of a listen where unintelligible backwards […]
Columbia, SC isn’t a kind city for pop-punk bands, but it’s bands like A Brighter Life and Brigades who keep that bleeding heart pumping. And though there’s not a huge audience for it in the midlands, these bands know their music is good enough to compete for label ears, especially after the recent success of Brigades […]
Charleston, SC welcomed the Country Deep Tour presented by AT&T U-Verse with open arms Saturday night as hundreds of screaming fans could barely hold their excitement in for each artist.
