Steve's First Project with Music 2/20/13

Tom Smeaton is one of the founding members of the Ewing, New Jersey band The Black Sox Scandal. Tom, along with collaborators Dan Lisi and Zac Wong, have just finished work on a six-song EP, "Nothing Seemed So Perfect," which will be released this spring. I spoke with Tom about the band's start, as well as their plans and expectations for their future.

Interview with Tom Smeaton of The Black Sox Scandal

An article posted on CNNMoney in January reported that starting salaries for new college graduates in 2012 were up 3.4% from the year before - the biggest rise since 2008. I spoke with a number of students at The College of New Jersey about their thoughts on the statistics and how they felt it would affect them when it comes time for them to graduate and enter the professional world.

Reported Rise In Starting Salaries Elicits Mixed Opinions from TCNJ Students

This is a rough draft of my final project for COM269. The piece is on local NJ band The Black Sox Scandal: how they got their start, their experiences in the local music scene and how graduating college will impact their future as a band.

Note: As this is only a draft, only up until 2:28 includes voiceovers/narrations and is overall more produced. The audio after that mark is just edited interviews without narrations, music, etc. yet.

Final Project 4/17 Draft

This is another draft of my COM269 final project. This draft includes a few more of the interviews edited and pieced together. I still need to put together the last of the interview clips, as well as finalize and record my narrations.

Final Project 4/24 Draft

When you think of musicians from New Jersey, there are some pretty big names that probably come to your mind. But did you know that there’s a whole community of smaller, local bands all over the state who are still looking for their big break? Steve Siminerio is a college student in New Jersey and an active listener of local music. He spoke with the members of a band called The Black Sox Scandal about the history of their band, their personal experiences in the local music scene and what the future holds for them.
