By Alexis Schwallier: Red isn’t just the name of Taylor Swift’s latest album, or her sold out tour. From red lipstick, sparkly red shoes, and a fire-red guitar, it was obvious the color was the theme of the night. Coincidence? I think not. Everyone can relate to songs about love, heartbreak, and the struggles [...]

Alexis Schwallier shot two shows for us last week, one being this one and one being the Taylor Swift show Saturday at Colonial Life Arena. She did a fantastic job with both of them. Tweet
While there weren’t many South Carolina bands represented on official stages at S0uth by Southwest this year, it didn’t stop a handful of Columbia bands from playing the festival unofficially. Shot at the Vulcan Army/Post Echo/Stereofly Collective Showcase, here is a video of Dear Blanca playing “Havana Tonight” the first single off their newest release [...]
Facebook Event Monday nights are usually reserved for lying around on the couch being a total bum, but Family of the Year and The Mowgli’s might change that next week. Family of the Year is out on tour with their new album Loma Vista gradually growing in popularity with each new tour date. Around here [...]

Brandon Kean had always written an occasional song on acoustic guitar, or played a solo acoustic show for fun now and then, but it wasn’t until a year ago that he stepped out on a limb to try to take his songs to the next level. After recording “On and On”, a song which was [...]
Facebook Event One of the first steps for local bands to start playing shows out of their hometown is meeting the right people and bands to get that done. It can be a really frustrating thing to book worthwhile shows on your own, so it helps to find someone else that believes in your music [...]
Fork and Spoon The Lovely FewHearts and Plugs We’re huge fans of Fork and Spoon records here at SceneSC and their new Casual Friday series, so we decided to see how it was done and film a low key acoustic session with this weeks featured artist The Lovely Few. Why is it called Casual [...]
Saturday at Savannah Stopover started out with a rehashing/learning how the previous night’s escapades unfolded. After being generally unpleased with myself, I was able to shrug off my disappointment and embrace the sunshine and low-70-degree temperatures outside. It was a new day and there were new bands and venues to discover. Since the music didn’t start [...]
I generally try and avoid situations where I’m pulling double duty as a press member and artist at a show/event, but David’s offer for me to cover the Savannah Stopover Festival after I finished playing seemed too good to pass up. My only previous experiences in Savannah were both negative, so the lure of press [...]
We decided to ease into Day 1 of the Music portion of SXSW, but we probably went a little harder than originally planned. After checking in and getting all our credentials, we set out to find some free drinks and food before the night started. We wound up at a boathouse at the Tumblr + [...]
Biffy Clyro are nothing if not ambitious. The Scottish bands 6th studio release is a double album, both discs featuring 10 new songs. Just as the title implies, the themes and music on both discs in Opposites vibe against each other both lyrically and musically. Before going into the studio for Opposites, Biffy Clyro toured [...]
Alright Austin… We’ve stretched, prepped our google doc schedule, RSVP’d to every party, packed some snacks, charged our cameras and booked our post-sxsw pedicures for next week. We’re ready to drink all of your Shiner and eat all of your chips and queso. We’re excited to do this again, and of course see a bunch [...]
