Seasonals
The highlight of my year: Favorite albums Favorite songs (no order) The xx- Angels Japandroids- The House That Heaven Built (Younger Us may be a better song, but as anybody who has been following Japandroids for more than five months know, that song was originally released on their No Singles series.) Sun Kil Moon- The [...]
Its that time of the year. The stockings are all hung by the chimney with care, in hopes that sir St. Nick will soon be here. Time for Christmas parties and ugly sweaters. Well, not ugly sweaters here in famously hot Columbia, SC, but that shouldn’t get your spirits down. Egg nog and Christmas-scented candles [...]

The Sea Wolf Mutiny When bands record Christmas songs it can often come off cheesy and half-hearted. With The Sea Wolf Mutiny’s version of “Jesus Christ The Apple Tree” they not only chose a Christmas song that sometimes gets lost and deserves more attention in the Advent season, [...]
Southern Ground Music Festival October 20/21-Tickets Charleston, SC/Blackbaud Stadium Few country music singers have done as much with their fame as Zac Brown has over the years. Around the Southern Ground theme, he’s launched a record label, opened a 500 acre music camp in Fayetville, Georgia, opened a restaurant, written a cookbook, and launched Southern [...]

It’s finally fall, or at least the past two days have felt that way. I’m always more inspired during the fall for some reason; everything pumpkin tastes better, and new music always sounds so much more appealing. This week, most of my listens are going to two artists: Brandon Kean and Joshua Michael Robinson. Brandon [...]
Andy Shauf What I’ve been missing most lately is the House of Softcore house shows. A year has washed away the bad memories of cleaning, hosting, struggling to pay touring artists, dealing with people trying to flip guests cars, late work nights, people not showing up for amazing acts, rearranging furniture, pissed off neighbors, and [...]

This is my first jam session. Couldn’t have picked two better artists to be my first. A new era has begun for All Get Out. This is the first release since guitarist Mel Washington, and bassist Mike Rogers left the band. Nathan Hussey picks up where he left off with another great song reminiscent of [...]

We haven’t been able to keep with Summer Jams, Winter Jams, or anything ever. It seems pretty simple, but for some reason no one can keep them up consistently. Well we’re giving it one last go with “Jam Sessions” every Friday. This weeks features two very different SC artists. Emily McCollum’s name is no [...]
![[4-9 DJOJ] Mer de Blanc/Mount Moriah](http://www.scenesc.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/MM.jpg.pagespeed.ce.YWOwpphXKd.jpg "[4-9 DJOJ] Mer de Blanc/Mount Moriah")
Mer de Blanc’s music on Bandcamp is tagged with American Football, 90′s, and Explosions in the Sky. When it comes to melodic guitar lines they seem to channel the same melodic guitar harmonies found in Owen’s music, with less focus on vocals, much like late 90′s indie rock did. Younger generations may look upon these [...]

For a music website to be doing acoustic sessions might seem like a really common sense thing. When we started SceneSC in 2008 we knew were going to have plenty of live video and pictures. Even then we were thinking ahead and wanted a way for people down the road to be able to look [...]

With the NCAA tournament just finishing up and March Madness coming to a close this week with Kentucky being crowned the national champion, let us think back to 2010. Duke was making a run at the title, while at the same time Butler wore Cinderella’s magical dancing shoe straight through the sweet 16, into the [...]

I don’t know if Jessica Oliver is a people person. She’s always been nice to me though, so I guess she could be. These DJOJ’s aren’t about new music, just what I’m listening to. I actually found People Person looking for Hauswerk because I saw them at a house show and loved it. All I [...]

When it comes to listening to music I don’t differentiate between whether a band is from the northwest corner of Washington state or whether they are from Greenville, SC. Good music made in Chapel Hill or Athens sounds the same as good music made in Charleston or Florence. For some reason people are fixated on [...]
![[4-2 DJOJ] Can’t Kids/Kelli Schaefer](http://www.scenesc.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Dimes.jpg.pagespeed.ce.rWzoc-COy2.jpg "[4-2 DJOJ] Can’t Kids/Kelli Schaefer")
Early on I loved Dawn Shredder for being clever and charming. Then they grew up. Added a bass player and a cellist and became witty and charismatic. Those are pretty much the same thing, but where Can’t Kids really surprised me was by going into a studio to record their first full length. Everything prior [...]
It’s been a while since I’ve updated everyone on what I’ve been listening to this summer. It’s mostly been Bon Iver, Washed Out, Manchester Orchestra, Dawes and Madi Diaz. I’ve been wearing all of that out and I still find time to cram in everything else. I’m going on opposite ends of the spectrum for [...]
