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 [...]
The one thing I care about more than anything else is Gamecock Football, so I’ll be making a weekly analysis and prediction for every game. I’ve missed 3 games since 2002, all for good reasons, so I’m pretty much an expert. I’ll also be predicting the Clemson score. Run Down Southern Mississippi just had a [...]
Check out the new video for Calculator’s new single “Romantic Organs.” Romantic Organs is easily one of Calculator’s best songs and shows the growth of the band over the last year. Their newest EP En Shape is available for free download on Bandcamp. I was expecting a little more skin in this video, but hey, [...]
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 are a couple of new videos from the House of Softcore. One day I might get super indie and put a vignette on them and people will think I’m artsy. Until then, I’ll just be a normal dude trying to take some quality videos. I’ll have more videos on the way soon. If you [...]
The new video for Toro Y Moi’s latest single “Low Shoulder” takes Chaz’s bedroom pop sounds into the dreams, or nightmares of a girl. For the video to Toro Y Moi’s latest single “Low Shoulder” the directors Elisha Smith-Leverock and Chris Murdoch have drawn inspiration from everything over pulp magazines and Cinderella to sploshing and [...]
Polite Dance Song – The Bird and the Bee Polite Dance Song – The Bird and the Bee I’m already falling out of my summer jam mood and into some fall james, but I guess summer’s only got a couple more weeks. This song is a more transitional summer to fall jam. So check it [...]
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 [...]
When one band breaks up a new one will form. That is almost always the case, and if you thought that Erich Skelton wouldn’t soon have another project after Marry a Thief you were wrong. Skelton has always surrounded himself with some of Columbia’s best musicians and Kingslyn follows suit. The new band features, Philip [...]
Two years ago Dylan Sneed toured to Hartsville, SC from his home in Texas with all of his belongings and when he arrived in South Carolina, he stayed. His latest album is fittingly called Texodus and you can buy it here and stream it here. Earlier this year Sneed raised over $8,000 to record this [...]
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 [...]
Dawn of the Dead – Does It Offend You, Yeah? Dawn of the Dead – Does It Offend You, Yeah? I am late. I just discovered this song about three months ago. It came out in 2008. To make up for that ignorance, I had known of the band in 2008, but I knew of [...]
By: Hillary Lancaster The Rocket Summer- I need a Break, but I\’d Rather Have a Breakthrough Bryce Avary of the Rocket Summer is my Taylor Hanson. Girls, you know that’s a big deal– Which is why, of course, Bryce’s most recent release ‘Of Men and Angels’ is in heavy rotation this summer. Coming from a [...]
If you check the latest issue of the Free Times then you’ll see that we won Runner Up for Best Local Music and Entertainment website. If you think I am bitter about this, I am. But let me tell you why. I’m fine with getting runner up and really I’m fine with Free Times winning. [...]
Back again for another vinyl edition of SceneSC’s summer jams. This edition is all about influences: your bands’ favorite bands. These two artists have been major forces behind the evolution of their respective genres and their music is just as relevant as it was the day these records were released, if not more so. So, [...]
