Local music scene frontrunners, Death of Paris, have announced their first full band tour, "The Big Blue Coast Tour."

In "Friends, Chicks, Guitars," a track off Bowling for Soup's newest album, lead singer Jaret Reddick belts out the line, "We've been in this band longer than most of our fans have been." It may be hard to believe, but the fun-loving pop rockers have been together since 1994. Seventeen years later, on their 11th studio album, "Fishin' for Woos," they continue to remind fans and critics of the charm, personality and fun musical style that has kept them around for so long."Fishin' for Woos" is full of BFS's signature anthems, beginning with the second track, "Girls In America," in which the band bemoans being away from "southern accents and California tan lines."

St. Patrick’s Day, an originally religious holiday honoring St. Patrick, a patron saint of Ireland, has come to be marked with the wearing of green and the drinking of mass amounts of alcohol. A rich Irish culture lends itself to the day’s festivities, whether it is with a good drowning of the shamrock or a morning-after, traditional hangover cure. So, button up your best Aran sweater, strike up a good game of Irish hurling and celebrate St. Patrick’s Day right. These are the five St. Patrick’s Day traditions we’re obsessing about this week.

Myrtle Beach State ParkGoing to the beach for spring break may not seem like a novel idea, but Myrtle Beach State Park offers a refreshing alternative to ridiculously overpriced hotels and overly crowded beaches. The park's cheap rates, like $25 per night for a campsite including water, electricity and even Wi-Fi at the general store and pier, are much better than hotels that cost over $100 a night for much less. The oceanfront forest, fishing pier and hiking trails in the park give visitors plenty to do, and its location in the middle of the Grand Strand makes it a destination encompassing the best of both worlds.
