The six sleazy Tampanians (a real word according to UrbanDictionary.com) of Sleepy Vikings have braved an infernal Florida sun to write the weird songs about stalkers, dead kings, summer, presidents and teenage loitering that make up the debut album, ‘They Will Find You Here’ out May 10th on the New Granada record label. They’re hitting [...]

This week, SceneSC got the chance to interview Chloe Chaidez of LA’s Kitten. They released their first EP, Sunday School, last fall and are currently out on their first tour supporting Young The Giant on their way to SXSW. Lucky for us, Kitten will be taking a break from supporting Young and bring their brand [...]
P Is For Panda’s Andy Zipf released his new single, “Reach Is Wide” from his forthcoming album on September 28th, just a day after putting on a great show at the House of Softcore with Ben Walker and Ghosts Of The Great Highway. The single is a great track and Zipf is really at the [...]
SceneSC got the chance to interview Ted Leo back in August. We got a chance to talk about his new video for Bottled In Cork, which had just been released that week, and what the future holds for Ted Leo and the Pharmacists. Ted Leo & Rx will be playing at The Handlebar in Greenville [...]
All Get Out’s Mel Washington has released two new singles this week, “Sleep” and “Alive.” Both are available now through melwashington.bandcamp.com. He’s written a few words about this release: I made a commitment to myself, friends, and fans that I wanted to release as much material as I possibly could this year. It was not [...]
For this edition of vinyl jams, I’m featuring my first LP. I feel like it’s unfair for a segment focused on the analog to start anywhere other than with analog purist Steve Albini when it comes the LP format, so here’s one of Albini’s finest works. Prayer To God Shellac – 1000 Hurts (2000) In [...]
Dignan-Two Steps SceneSC recently got the chance to interview Devin from Dignan about the band. He told us a little about the band’s past, present, and future, which is looking very bright for the band. Dignan’s current tour is going to be pretty kind to SC, and they’re treating us to four shows this month: [...]
There are a number of great shows coming up all across the state this month, and we here at SceneSC wanted to highlight some of them for you so you could go ahead and put these in the request book at work. We want to see you there. Sept. 6 The Mongoloids – The Legion, [...]
So we’ve got some more great shows coming up at the House Of Softcore, and next up are two of P Is For Panda Records‘ best: Lauris Vidal and Andy Shauf on Sept. 10. These are two singer-songwriters of the highest caliber. I was lucky enough to get to host Andy Shauf earlier this year [...]
For this edition of vinyl jams, I’m flipping it over to the B-Side. Here are two of my favorite releases that have especially great B-Sides: First, I’ve got Matt Pond PA’s Starting 7″. This is the first release in a series of EPs put out as accompaniment to the 2009 full-length The Dark Leaves. Matt [...]

Welcome back to another vinyl edition of Summer Jams. Today’s Jams are two awesome 7″ singles I picked up at 52.5 Records in Charleston this morning. As we mention on the site before, they’re closing their doors on Nov. 1, so make sure you take some time out to stop by before it’s too late [...]
Here’s another vinyl edition of summer jams for your listening pleasure. This week, it’s all about rejection. Songs about the big, fat NO and the feeling of a trapdoor opening up beneath your feet. Now, normally I’d have two releases to feature for my jams, but in the last week, there’s literally only been one [...]
We all know the music industry is changing, and that records labels, record stores, and musicians big and small all across the country are having to close their doors and hang up their guitars due to the drastic downturn in physical music sales in this digital era, but it never quite hits home until you [...]
