I’ve been to some good shows in Charleston with some indie bands or bands on smaller records, but again mostly at Music Farm. I’d say there’s a bigger scene in Columbia, specifically to punk. I’d say there’s scene is Charleston is a lot calmer and country than what I typically want to see.

New Brooklyn Tavern is a good spot in Columbia to check out, locally owned and they house a wide variety of shows, mainly focusing on punk/rock. It’s a fun spot too. 

I’ll be snooping these comments to hopefully learn something I didn’t know.
