Biography

There are at least two bands that go by this name, one British and one American:

1) South is a London-based trio of talented multi-instrumentalists that defy any one label. Rock, electric, acoustic, folk and orchestral only touch the surface of South’s repertoire. Their first album, From Here on In, was released on Mo’Wax. Between this and the next album they supplied the score to Sexy Beast along with UNKLE. Their sophomore album, With the Tides, was released domestically in the United States on the Kinetic Record Label in 2003. The release of their third full length album; ‘Adventures in the Underground Journey to the Stars’ in 2006 has only expanded their sound while taking on new challenges by mixing and producing their own tunes in their very own studio.

2008 brings more changes to South with a move to Bluhammock Records. Scheduled to be released in April, “You Are Here” showcases some redone older tracks as well as breaking new ground.

Their track “Paint the Silence”, from From Here On In, quickly became a hit after it was played in the ninth episode of The OC in Season 1. The episode was entitled “The Heights”.

South is:

Joel Cadbury
Jamie McDonald
Brett Shaw

2) South is also the name of a Virginia-based drone/post-rock group that released a self-titled album in 1999.

    i'm afraid to the uninitiated, this british band may seem like a one-hit-wonder (looking at the charts here), however that is not the case, their music is consistently good and although the grandeur of paint the silence shines brightly, there are other, equally potent gems strewn across their discography.

    No, say it’s not true. South are/were an amazing band, and their sound transported way past the “Brit-pop” tag.

    They're done; been on indefinite hiatus since 2009. Tragic, innit...

    Yeah, seems like they are done. Which is a huge shame. One of my favorite bands. Thankfully though Jamie McDonald, their lead singer, seems to be forging ahead and released two EP's in 2010.
