Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

And, they're right at home here in South Carolina.

Southern California pop punk/hardcore blenders Stateside left a big impression when they opened the Koyo, Anxious, One Step Closer tour earlier this year, and now they’ve signed to Pure Noise, which is also home to Koyo (and The Story So Far, SeeYouSpaceCowboy, Knocked Loose, Drug Church, and a bunch of others). Their first single for the label is “Thirty Mile Stretch,” which comes on a 7″ (co-released by their former label, New Morality Zine) that also includes the song they put out right before the tour in March, “Since Last Season.” Picking up where that song and their 2023 debut EP It’s What We Do left off, “Thirty Mile Stretch” is a hardcore-infused pop punk bottle rocket in the vein of stuff like New Found Glory, Saves The Day, The Movielife, etc. It also fits in perfectly with the melodic hardcore revival that Koyo, Anxious, and OSC are leading.
