Thrice and a Bazillion Other Bands @ Saltair 11.1
Thrice is my favorite band. If I was allowed to post a video of me just saying that, it’d probably be a sufficient review—that’s how much love would exude from me. Alas, my job isn’t to make creepy videos of myself, so I must describe it all to you with words. … read more

Watch Out Barbie, It’s Girl In a Coma
In a world where bleached blondes in heels singing high-fructose garbage are rapidly polluting the airwaves, Girl in a Coma is here to save us with a healthy dose of rock n’ roll.
