Extra Chill is a vibrant independent music blog and community forum founded in 2011 in Charleston, SC. Initially created by a music-loving college student, it has grown into a prominent platform for independent music enthusiasts. The brand thrives on its commitment to covering live music events, showcasing upcoming artists, and sharing insightful music reviews and interviews.

One of its marquee offerings is the Extra Chill Fest, an annual festival celebrating local talent, which has occurred five times between 2018 and 2024. In early 2024, Extra Chill expanded its scope by launching the Extra Chill Community, fostering a collaborative forum for artists, fans, and industry professionals to share their experiences and passions. Throughout its journey, Extra Chill has evolved into a global music resource, providing in-depth analyses of music history, song meanings, and musical curiosities, with a special focus on the regional influences of South Carolina.

As Extra Chill continues to grow, it aspires to be the ultimate hub for independent music lovers everywhere
