Carolina Liar
Band United States Formed 2006
Carolina Liar formed in 2006 in the United States. Carolina Liar has 20 chart appearances on 18 radio countdowns from 18 stations on RockLists, spanning 2008–2009. The most successful song on radio countdowns is “I'm Not Over”, which appears on 14 lists with a best position of #13. The station that charted Carolina Liar most often is 94.1 The Zone (Rochester, NY), with 2 appearances. The artist’s biggest year on year-end countdowns was 2008.
Carolina Liar split the difference between two very different places: singer and guitarist Chad Wolf hails from Moncks Corner, South Carolina, while the rest of the band came out of Stockholm. Their major-label debut, Coming to Terms, arrived on Atlantic in 2008 with Max Martin and Tobias Karlsson producing, and the choruses come tightly wound and gleaming even when the guitars lean toward alternative rock. Jim Almgren Gândara is also in the lineup.
"I'm Not Over" is the song that carried them onto the countdowns: a wounded, surging anthem that starts as a hurt murmur and ends as a full-throated plea. It went gold, and it got around, turning up in What Happens in Vegas, the film with Ashton Kutcher and Cameron Diaz, in a King of the Hill episode and in the UEFA Euro 2008 video game. Its album mate "Show Me What I'm Looking For" did even better, going platinum and landing in ads for the 2009 MLB All-Star Game and on MTV's The Hills. For a band that wears its bruised heart this plainly on its sleeve, it was a remarkably busy debut.
