Interview with Ten Kens
When I first discovered the dark complexity that is Ten Kens third full length Namesake it was honestly a dream come true. I love dark, somber, and introspective music and the density that was contained on the original 10 tracks that were digitally released back in 2012 became an instant favorite of mine. The feeling … Continue reading
Record Review: ASG – Blood Drive
North Carolina’s ASG (which may or may not stand for All Systems Go, or Amplification of Self Gratification, or maybe a combo of the two ) is some all out southern rock psychedelic stoner metal, but in a good way. Usually when I hear a band described as southern metal my mind immediately tries to … Continue reading
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
Another 15 Questions with Mylets
A lot has changed for Henry Kohen a.k.a. Mylets since we last spoke in December. He’s moved to Los Angeles, is now officially signed to Sargent House, and is living with Sragent house founder Cathy Pellow. Now Mylets days are filled with non-stop practice, playing, writing, and recording for his new full length which should be out next year. … 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
15 Questions with Intronaut
If you have ever read any of my posts you know I’m a total junkie when it comes to intelligent well crafted music with a hint (or sometimes a lot) of heaviness and Intronaut are a perfect example of that intelligent heaviness. I have followed the band closely for a few years now and have been a big fan of … Continue reading
16 Questions with The Appleseed Cast
I’ve always thoroughly enjoyed and admired The Appleseed Cast, it’s not very often that an indie band can last as long as these guys have. Its even more rare that a band can evolve and progress as much as they have. Throughout their evolution The Appleseed Cast have released so many inspiring and influential albums and the band has succeeded … Continue reading
Adopt This Album! – Visions of Grimes
Grimes – Visions (Arbutus Records – 2012) I’ve been thinking a lot about Grimes lately. There’s probably nobody in music I’ve changed my opinion onmore over the last 12 months than her. When she released Visions, I shoved her off to one side as a performance art-heavy kind of performer: maybe you remember the video where she … Continue reading
Clutch @ The Depot 03/19/13 Salt Lake City, UT
There’s not a whole lot I can say about Clutch… except that they are freaking awesome! I have followed the band fairly closely throughout their existence and always paid attention when they released a new album, but for some reason or another I never had gotten around to seeing them live. I’m not quite sure … Continue reading

Cheng had been in and out of a coma for the better part of these past five years and had recently seemed to be … Continue reading
