Brave Baby’s new album ‘3x blood’ has been crowned the top album in South Carolina for 2024, marking an exciting comeback for the band after nearly a decade. Their latest work includes a dozen tracks and reflects the personal growth and challenges faced by its members. The album is celebrated not just for its musicality, but also as a testament to the vibrant Charleston music scene that fosters collaboration among artists. With the band expressing gratitude for their community, ‘3x blood’ is set to shine in the state’s diverse music landscape.
There’s a buzz in the air and it’s coming straight from Charleston. That’s right, the talented band Brave Baby is back in the spotlight, and their latest album, “3x blood”, has just been named the top record in South Carolina for 2024! After nearly a decade of silence, this is a seriously exciting comeback for the group.
The decision was made by a diverse panel of over 100 music industry influencers within the state. Talk about a prestigious honor! This year’s album is a dozen tracks long and serves as a worthy follow-up to their previous work, “Electric Friends”, which was released way back in 2015. Time really flies in the music world, doesn’t it?
Brave Baby consists of five members: Keon Masters (vocals and guitar), Ryan “Wolfgang” Zimmerman (producer and drums), Christian Chidester (guitar), Steven Walker (keyboard), and Jordan Hicks (bass). Together, they bring a blend of musical genius to the table, and it shows. This album is not just another set of tunes—it’s a reflection of their journeys and growth over the years.
Several of the band members experienced significant personal changes during their hiatus. From navigating relationships to confronting serious health issues, including cancer treatments, and even stepping into fatherhood, they faced many challenges. Through it all, the band’s spirit of kindness and understanding towards each other truly shined, setting the stage for a collaborative adventure that resulted in “3x blood”.
Described as their “comeback album”, the hard work and dedication poured into this project are palpable. Ryan Zimmerman even takes the mic for lead vocals on lively tracks like “Recently” and “2 Things at Once.” One of the standout singles, “Half Awake,” is particularly catchy, showcasing the band’s knack for creating memorable melodies. You can practically hear it playing on repeat in your head!
While each song explores various themes and vibes, not to be missed is “Cloak of Love,” which offers a touch of nostalgia with electronic effects reminiscent of an ’80s movie soundtrack. Those who appreciate a country twist will enjoy “Little Buzz On,” where steel guitar meets a sense of country charm. Talk about variety!
Brave Baby also expressed their deep appreciation for the vibrant music scene in Charleston. There’s a powerful camaraderie among local musicians that shines bright, encouraging artists to collaborate and uplift each other. This sense of community is a cornerstone of why Charleston is flourishing as a hub for fresh music. It’s safe to say that the Charleston music scene is alive and kicking!
And Brave Baby is not the only group making waves this year. The No. 3 album on the acclaimed list goes to “Good Things Take Time” by Admiral Radio, a dynamic duo from Columbia. Their album, featuring seven heartfelt tracks, centers around themes of perseverance and personal growth—a perfect companion to “3x blood” that shows how South Carolina artists dig deep for inspiration.
As the buzz continues about Brave Baby and their triumphant return, the conversation gently nudges toward the desire for even more recognized original music throughout South Carolina. There’s a sea of talent waiting to be unearthed, with a hope that this vibrant culture continues to inspire musical exploration and creativity.
So, here’s to Brave Baby and their fantastic album “3x blood”! With their comeback and the ongoing shake-up of the Charleston music scene, it looks like South Carolina is set to keep grooving in 2024.
