Charleston-based band Daddy’s Beemer (comprising leadvocalist/guitarist Brady Sklar, multi-instrumentalist Dan Fetterolf, bassistWesley Heaton, and newest addition, drummer Payton Kutyla) formed in 2016 atClemson University, where they soon established their brand of dreamy, buoyantindie rock. Influences from across the pond like Two Door Cinema Club, TheKooks and The Cure mingled with the likes of REM and even Frank Ocean to form aleft-field melting pot across their first EPs, Daddy’s Beemer (2017) and Pucker(2018). Meanwhile, they forged their identity on the road, playing over 200shows since their inception and heading as far afield as New York and SXSW, allwhile building a rock-solid base in their home state of South Carolina.

While their debut full-length, 2020’s Denmark, saw the band expand theirrecording capacity and flex their production muscles, they now have theirsights set on capturing the electric, spontaneous energy of their live show asthey record their upcoming second LP. -Mia Hughes
