Record Review: Light Black – S/T
I can seriously count on one hand how many times I have really truly enjoyed a Salt Lake City local band. The first being Iceburn from back in the day. Then in the mid 90′s it was Ehco Seven, late 90′s, Headtrip. In the early 2000′s it was Form of Rocket (if you have not experinced any … Continue reading
Interview with The New Trust
I am new to the awesomeness that is The New Trust. I was exposed to the band from a post on the band Junius’ Facebook page and upon watching TNT’s video for “Compromise” I was hooked. They are the perfect combination of post-hardcore, heavy indie rock, mixed with earnest / clean vocals. One of the first things … Continue reading
Daft Punk Fever – Best of the Random Access Memory Remixes
I’m not sure there’s another band that is as captivating as Daft Punk is right now. I’ve been thinking about them a bit recently: they’re gearing up to release a new album on a new label and have managed to keep nearly everything under wraps: we know the new album’s name (Random Access Memories), have … Continue reading

Record Review: Sleep Lady – So Long Lonely Ghost
“The soundtrack you never heard to a movie that was never made about people you never met.” This is what you find in the “about” section on Sleep Lady’s Facebook page and it couldn’t be more fitting. Sleep Lady is a 5 piece, (mostly) instrumental post-rock / metal dream pop band from San Diego, CA. The band was … Continue reading

14 Questions with Baptists
Today sees the release of Baptists first full length LP, Bushcraft, which is an unrelenting collection of in-your-face thrashers from start to finish. It’s the groups first full length (their only other release being 2010’s self-titled EP), Bushcraft sounds as if they have been playing together for years. Thick, powerful riffs and technical drumming combine with … Continue reading
New Jams – Beginning of Summer Edition
It’s the beginning of the best time of year and that can mean only one thing. It’s time to have a backyard kiddie pool party while listening to some sweet new music. Here are some recently discovered tunes and some albums I have been patiently waiting for. 2:54 S/T I know I’ve already posted about … Continue reading
New Jams: Epic Beards Included!
Brown Bird One of my favorite pastimes is to look up an artist that I am digging on YouTube and listening to the recommended or similar artists. In this case I was watching some videos for The Head and the Heart’s “Winter Song” and happened to come by this little band. Brown Bird is a … Continue reading
New Jams: The Triumphant Return
It has been about 50,000 years since we’ve posted any kind of shoutout to our ever-growing discovery of new bands (Nate saved the day yesterday with his best of list). It is a damn travesty that this post hasn’t been updated and I want to personally blame every band in the whole world for hitting the … Continue reading
