decided to go ahead and release this through here, so hiya folks.
i've gathered the demos up from parahelion and put them into a nice lil ep for ya.
BEST PART: Shinonome Labs is putting this on a super limited run of 6 cassettes and will be selling them at Too Spoopyfest in Alexandria tomorrow. whatever doesn't sell will be given to me and i'll probably sell em on here or to my pals irl.
this is all super duper sick, and hopefully sometime very soon SCM's gonna be doing some tape releases as well.
~keep yr eyes peeled and have a fantastic october y'all~

https://shortcircuitmedia.wordpress.com/2016/08/29/review-living-alone-video-age/

What do you get when you take Sun Hotel, break them up, divide the members into new bands; take one of them, then add and subtract a couple more people? You get Video Age, and you get hype. Consist…

Often when an auxiliary instrument is inserted into a rock band, its usage can be one dimensional; outside sounds can be mere embellishments and lose their unique sonic imprint. Bands that avoid th…

hello all!!!
gonna start a new thing on SCM: showcasing art/writing/etc by musicians/artists/writers in the scene that want to show off their other talents as well!!! it's a great place to see things that may inspire you or make you think. who knows, maybe you'll be able to relate to some of it!
if you or someone you know may want to have something of theirs featured (anonymously or not! only person that'll know who it is is me), drop me a message and we'll work something out!
the first one to be posted is a feature that will appear again from time to time, entitled "mono-sentiment". give it a read!

a nice article written about The Ex-Optimists written by one of SCM's contributor/authors Zach, who will hopefully keep updating all of us on awesome unknown Texas bands :-)

The term dad-rock is used as a thinly veiled insult to music two to three generations before the current one; it is used to deride ACDC and Boston worshippers who criticize without context most mus…

just want to clarify and put it out there that SCM will not work with, promote, or associate with anyone going against the advancement of women in the music scene. and especially not with anyone that chooses to harass women in any form and tries to hide it or pretend it didn't happen. considering this is started by/run by me, a female, i cannot agree to have anything to do with someone that thinks doing so is okay.
that is all.

03/05/2016

here you have it- the very first article posted!
shout out to everyone mentioned: Phargo., Festivals band, patrick stumped, Splitscreen, Höek, Shed., and Nicest of the Damned.
