Two artists share the name SRC: 1. The Scot Richard Case, a rock band from the United States 2. SRC, a grime producer from the United Kingdom 1) The SRC (short for The Scot Richard Case) was a Detroit/Ann Arbor based rock band from the late 1960's. From 1965 to 1970 they were a staple at many legendary Detroit rock venues such as The Grande Ballroom which is perhaps best remembered as the setting in which the MC5 album Kick out the Jams was recorded. Originally called the Ravins and then the Fugitives and formed by guitarists Steve Lyman and Gary Quackenbush, the early core of the group was granted an audition with Motown Records founder Berry Gordy, Jr. who turned them down for lack of an established stage show. However, a new shape of the band began to appear after a meeting with a well known Ann Arbor area manager by the name of Hugh "Jeep" Holland. Holland, also a record store manager & actual record label boss - A-Square, served as Russ Gibb's booking agent and was associated with many of the top Detroit based artists of his time such as MC5, Bob Seger, The Rationals, The Amboy Dukes and The Thyme. While originally impressed with the band's sound, he felt it lacked a "front man" and chose to select a new singer for the band before he would sign and manage them. In the selection process Holland narrowed the search down to two singers to place in the band: Scott Richardson, the singer of a local band known as the Chosen Few or a young stock boy at his store by the name of James Osterberg (known to the masses as Iggy Pop ) who he would later place with The Psychedelic Stooges. Also of note; in one of the later incarnations of the SRC, was a guitarist named James Williamson. As the scene in Ann Arbor/Detroit area was a local hotbed of talent, eventually the aforementioned James Osterberg (Iggy Stooge/Iggy Pop) seeing limitations in his own band which he didn't like, approached and recruited James into his own (Iggy's) band. Dropping bass player Dave Alexander, and moving Ron Asheton over to that position, gave the exact lineup for the band that recorded and handed to the world; Iggy and the Stooges "Raw Power". 2) SRC ( http://www.last.fm/music/SRC+%282%29) is an up and coming Grime producer from Birmingham, UK. His sharp, twisted instrumentals glean influence from veteran producer Terror Danjah, with video game noises, mutated basslines and 8-bit style synths forming the basis for his music.
