The core of the band was started by college buddies Rick White (guitarist) and Terry Thomas (drummer).
The five members of SCW assembled at a local warehouse loft studio in Nashville on April 24, 1991, for their first jam and writing session together.
The band added "Screamin'" (officially omitting the last letter in a nod to colloquial southern slang) and began playing local bars.
These shows were always a sold-out affair and led to the band being signed to Atlantic Records in 1993 by the infamous Jason Flom.
Big Wheel, released in 1998, contained "Standing In The Sun" and "Boogie King", a song as much at home in the mosh pit as cruising the local drag.
On April 24, 2022, the band announced that it had reformed for a limited number of performances, initially in Nashville and New York City, for its "The Long Goodbye" tour.
