Samantha Gilder

Samantha Gilder is a native of Saint Simons Island. She attended Georgia Southern University for a brief stint where she studied Journalism, and although she became your statistical “college dropout”, she strives to pursue her goals with the best of them. Growing up, music and writing were the top two most influential things in her life; fast forward to the present and their roles in her life are just as prominent, with the only (major) differences being that now she is not only a writer but a mother. She has eternal love in her heart for her daughter. She bartends at a local coffee shop/café/pub where (lucky for her) the appreciation for music is equally shared between her employers and co-workers.

SXSW with New Madrid

Posted on March 16, 2013October 8, 2013 by Samantha Gilder

Upon first listen, I quickly realized that New Madrid would turn into one of my favorite SXSW finds. The music they make is powerful; it forces you into a trance-like state and transcends the boundaries of your mind far from worldly concerns. Each time I play Yardboat, I feel a little more free and lot…

SXSW with Wax Idols

Posted on March 15, 2013October 8, 2013 by Samantha Gilder

One thing I came to realize after being at SXSW was that my life-long battle with having no sense of direction (in navigational terms, of course) was going to be an issue. Growing up on a 10-mile long island has definitely spoiled me, as I have become accustomed to knowing every in, out, and shortcut…

Posted on February 5, 2013October 8, 2013 by Samantha Gilder

After much anticipation, Los Angeles punk rock band The Bronx has broken a five-year musical hiatus and released its fourth studio album, The Bronx IV, which dropped today. The Bronx has been an underground staple in the hardcore scene for over a decade, and this record seems to pick right back up where the band…

REVIEW: Foeme’s El Fin Del Mundo

Posted on November 29, 2012October 8, 2013 by Samantha Gilder

Isn’t it something when a song can speak volumes to you (regardless of the familiarity of the language it’s being played in)? This was my revelation from earlier in the week when I was introduced to Foeme, an independent rock band from Mexico City. I find it kind of ironic that even though my Mexican…

Minus the Bear interview: Tales from the Tour Bus

Posted on October 25, 2012October 8, 2013 by Samantha Gilder

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past 10 years (and even then I’m not sure it’s a valid excuse), your personal playlists should, by now, delightfully be acquainted with Minus the Bear.  If for whatever (unfathomable) reasons you’re not familiar with the five- piece, Seattle based indie-rock band that is Minus the…

Post-show chat with Nick Diener of The Swellers

Posted on September 21, 2012October 8, 2013 by Samantha Gilder

Sundays for me are usually a day of an embarrassingly large amount of inactivity. Coffee, breakfast, and nothing- and that usually works just fine for me, but this past Sunday was a day full of music that brought me right back to the prime of my youth.

REVIEW: Adventures self-titled EP

Posted on September 7, 2012October 7, 2013 by Samantha Gilder

Upon my first listen of Adventures self-titled EP, I realized that No Sleep Records had done it again.  The album, which will drop September 11, instantly blew me away and surpassed any expectation I may have had. The line-up of Adventures seems to go something like this: -Three parts former Code Orange Kids members -Two…
