小简介
乐队Carolina Liar的故事就像是一出好莱坞描写音乐行业的电影剧本。团体核心是来自查尔斯顿的Chad Wolf。Wolf身兼主唱、创作、吉他等多职，深受他姐姐收藏的专辑中New Wave音乐的影响。22岁时，他移居洛杉矶，在那里靠各种奇奇怪怪的工作谋生（包括客串过Celine Dion的一段录影）。最后，他得到一份和歌曲作者Diane Warren一起的实习工作，在那里Diane Warren帮助Wolf改善了写歌技巧。本来故事可能就此打住，不过Wolf那时凑巧答应了帮一个朋友照看房子，而那个朋友又凑巧认识著名瑞典专辑制作人Max Martin。Martin在听了Wolf一首曲子之后，要求听更多他的歌。于是不久，Wolf就进了Stockholm唱片公司录制了一张专辑，幕后是由清一色瑞典人组成的乐队，其中Jim Almgren Gandara与Rickard Goransson负责吉他、Johan Carlsson负责键盘、Max Grahn负责打鼓而Erik Haager负责贝司。之后，乐队取名为Carolina Liar，而Wolf负责主唱部分。乐队于2008年发行首张专辑《Coming to Terms》。

The story of Carolina Liar is almost like the script to a Hollywood movie about the music industry. At the center of the group is Charleston, SC, native Chad Wolf. A singer, songwriter, and guitarist, Wolf fell under the spell of new wave through his older sister's record collection. At the age of 22 he relocated to Los Angeles, CA, earning a living doing whatever odd jobs he could (which included being an extra in a Celine Dion video), eventually landing an internship with songwriter Diane Warren, who helped Wolf refine and sharpen his writing skills. The story might have ended there if Wolf hadn't agreed to housesit for a friend who just happened to know famed Swedish record producer Max Martin. Martin heard one of Wolf's songs and asked to hear more, and soon Wolf found himself in Stockholm recording an album with one of Europe's biggest pop producers and backed by an all-Swedish band of Jim Almgren Gandara on guitar, Johan Carlsson on keyboards, Rickard Goransson on guitar, Max Grahn on drums, and Erik Haager on bass. Christened Carolina Liar, the band, with Wolf handling lead vocals, released a debut album, Coming to Terms, on Atlantic Records in 2008.
