Meow the Jewels began as a gag, a phony package on the band’s merch site claiming that, for $40,000, the band would remix their new album by reproducing the instrumentals exclusively with cat noises. This was included amidst other, pricier packages in which Run the Jewels would assault and ruin the lives of anyone who…
Johnnyswim consists of married duo, Abner Ramirez, who sings and plays guitar, and Amanda Sudano, who also sings, and a varying band. With their angelic voices, they create enchanting, folky music highlighted by their beautiful harmonies. Their music is primarily folk, with a presence of pop in songs like “Diamonds” and “Live Like We’re Young.”…
There’s nothing like a local Charleston band to warm a person up for a headlining show. HoneySmoke, who included a kazoo solo in one of their songs, was a nice country/rock-influenced-blues band to serve as an appetizer for what was to come. They were followed by Hugh Masterson who could be described as the acoustic,…
Fresh off the success of their respective solo careers Future (Dirty Sprite 2) and Drake (Meek Mills Career) have joined forces to massage our sonic receptors with their latest book of trap hymns entitled What a Time to be Alive. At first listen, WATTBA sounds like a generic mix of trap music with no point…
After leaving us in suspense with talking about his first full-length release, Anfernee boarded a plane to Europe but left behind personal anecdotes of his life in the form of his self-titled album. More surprising than the sudden release of the tape is how meticulous and exact the minimal production is on the entire project….
When Bleachers came to the Music Farm, there must have been something in the air. The night was filled with moving, anthemic rock. Kicking off the show was Cruisr, an indie-pop band that sounds like the perfect fit for the end of a Degrassi movie. You know? Where everyone finally ends their beefs and they…
If you ever wanted to know what EDM music sounded like in an MTV Unplugged fashion, then I would recommend Jamie xx. The music by this member of the hazy indie band The xx sounds like one long experiment of taking dance music and removing all the over the top antics of sledgehammer beats, buzzing…
It should sound a little funny to hear about penguin prisons and summers in the same sentence…Unless that sentence is Penguin Prison made a ready for summer pop album Penguin Prison first gained popularity with his song “Don’t Fuck with My Money” in 2011 and has made his rounds doing various remixes for artists like…
With finals looming at our doorsteps, it is hard to believe that another school year has come and gone. While fast, this year was not short of unexpected events and unforgettable moments. A new logo, moving campaigns, celebrities in the Holy City, a daunting threat: These were just some of this year’s top stories. Here…
In the first week of their US tour, Cecil Baldwin stopped by Charleston to share a radio news broadcast from the city of Nightvale to a sold out audience. Welcome To Nightvale is a bi-monthly podcast of ficticious news brought to listeners from Cecil Palmer portrayed by Cecil Baldwin. Written by Joseph Fink and Jeffery…
From the opening track of their new album, it’s very apparent that The Go! Team has definitely changed their signature sound. If you told me that the band would trade their loud, plunderphonic, 60s pop, hip hop, and indie crashing songs for more jubilant noise-pop, I probably would have lost interest sooner. It seems typical for quirky indie…
G. Love and Special Sauce showed out at the Music Farm this past week, stopping in the Holy City as they’ve trekked through South Carolina on their Sugar Blues tour. This tour also features soulful, acoustic guitarist Matt Costa, who opened the show with some tunes reminiscent of Bob Dylan. His set incorporated folk, railroad blues,…
