Marc Higgins & The Chainsaw Bears

Marc Higgins and the Chainsaw Bears, offer a rootsy style of power pop that's akin to a contemporary, Southern version of The Replacements.

Higgins, whose brand of folk-rock has been described as a cross between the punkish energy of the Replacements and the alt-country aesthetic of Whiskeytown, has long had a reputation for producing catchy pop hooks.

Stylistically, Marc Higgins and the Chainsaw Bears churn out the kind of roots-flavored rock 'n' roll that has made Higgins a fixture on the Upstate music scene for nearly two decades.
