Local Review: The Side Project – Project Rocket
The Side Project Project Rocket No Ledge Records Street: Jan. 2007 The Side Project= Beats like MF Doom + Aesop Rock Track (Face Of The Deep); Time (3:31): TaskRok causally lays down the rules for reviewing his rhymes, “say anything I don’t like and I’ll fn strangle your fn throat.” And so, out of want
Local Review: The Sons of Guns – Self-Titled
The Sons of Guns Self-Titled Self-Released Street: 05.01 The Suns of Guns = Guns N’ Roses + MxPx + cassettes left in the sun There was a summer in middle school when I listened to a college music radio station religiously because of the punk-rock block they’d play every Saturday afternoon. I was so enthralled

The New Nervous Frantic Is The New Nervous Self-Release Street: 03.24 The New Nervous = The Academy Is + Circa Survive Provo has a burgeoning music scene for all ages and of every musical genre.

Local Review: The Hotness – Fashion Over Comfort
The Hotness Fashion Over Comfort Sound Vs. Silence Street: 02.06 The Hotness = La Severence + The Get Up Kids guitar + high school band with 700 Myspace friends I’m a sucker for a good dance song. I could care less what the artist is singing about, as long as they can keep my ass

Local Review: The Krypled – S/T
The Krypled S/T Self Released Street: 2007 The Krypled = I don’t even think THEY have any idea. This CD is, from start to finish, one of the most boring, hackneyed, been-there-done-that things I’ve ever heard. Honestly, if I wanted to listen to ripped off NWOBHM riffs, I’d much prefer something like Slough Feg…at least
Local Review: The Electric Pubes – mc.EP; The Electric Pubes...
The Electric Pubes EP is presented in high-quality homemade printer paper CD sleeves. Sure, these guys clearly didn’t put a lot of money into their creation, but for what they lack in cold cash, they certainly make up in energy, creativity, and ridiculously massive balls. … read more

Sun Fall on Echoes S/T Self-Released Street: Sun Fall on Echoes = Black Tape for a Blue Girl + Charitona + Ataraxia Doth thou hear a whisper or an ocean wave? Doth thou see a shadow or succubus? Sun Fall on Echoes self-titled debut album falls somewhere along the lines if Project records hosted a
Local Review: Sweet Jesus – Self-Titled
Sweet Jesus Self-Titled Exigent Records Street: 03.07 Sweet Jesus = Hammergun + Form Of Rocket . Yeah, I said it. Honestly, and this is a good thing, Sweet Jesus sounds exactly like Hammergun and Form Of Rocket if you mashed them together. Makes perfect sense, considering bassist Sean McClaugherty was in Hammergun, and guitarist/vocalist Peter
Local Review: Terrance Danger Hailstorm – No Danger b/w Hurricane
Terrance Danger Hailstorm No Danger b/w Hurricane Self-Released Street 05.07 Terrance DH = the Stench + Magstatic + a hipper, friendlier and less evil Danzig Terrance Danger Hailstorm has been a staple on the SLC music scene for a number of years now, as a member of the Stench, Magstatic and the Bad Yodelers.
