Artist of the Week: Carolina Liar

Here's the deal, as I mentioned in last week's post, I had the opportunity to see The Academy is live in concert this past Thursday. It was an awesome show and I had a great time. What surprised me the most about the show was the opening bands. I usually don't enjoy them that much, because usually they sound nothing like the band I'm actually there to see. That wasn't the case on this particular night. Unfortunately, we got there a little late and missed the first band Hey Monday, which really sucks cause they turned out to be really good. Although the other two bands also turned out to be really good, right now I wanna talk about just one. This band originated from Charleston, South Carolina where singer song writer Chad Wolf grew up. At the age of 22, he would move to Los Angeles where he would make ends meet by doing all sorts of odd jobs. Eventually, Chad would score and internship with song writer Diane Warren who would help him refine and sharpen his writing skills. While still writing songs, Chad continued doing what he could to keep a roof over his which included house sitting for a friend. Who would've guess that friend just happened to know famed Swedish record producer Max Martin. After playing a couple of songs for Max, Chad soon found himself in Sweden recording an album with some of Europe's best producers. Of course he needed a band, so he got an all-Swedish band of Jim Almgren Gandara (Guitar), Johan Carlsson (Keyboards), Rickard Goransson on (Guitar), Max Grahn (Drums), and Erik Haager (Bass). The band would go on to sign with Atlantic Records and then in May of this year, release their debut album Coming to Terms. The album has done pretty good thanks to it's two singles "I'm Not Over" and "Show Me What I'm Looking For." With great songs like these, I know Chad and his band will continue to make great music for years to come. That being said, this week's artist is Carolina Liar with their song Coming to Terms, enjoy.
