Review: Going Second – Untitled
Going Second Untitled Self Released Street: 07.03 Going Second = Saves the Day + Academy Is If you’re a teenage girl, or just enjoy the occasional cry (I know I do), this album isn’t too bad. Lyrics like, “One day, I swear I’ll find my way, one day I swear, I’ll find you” snugly wrap
Review: Incendiant – Self-Titled
Incendiant Self-Titled Jordan River Entertainment Street: 07.15 Insentient = Morbid Angel + Immolation + Death Incendiant have a progressive vibe on this album and every song is inherently different. Incendiant’s songwriting ability is uncanny. From album opener “Night of a Thousand Kives,” pulverizing as it grooves, or the just plain brutal blasting of “Collapse of
Review: God’s Revolver – Little Black Horse, Where Are You...
God’s Revolver Little Black Horse, Where Are You Going With Your Dead Rider? Exigent Records Street: 09.11 God’s Revolver = Priestess + Goatsnake + Blue Cheer Skeptical. That’s the only word to describe how I felt before I listened to this God’s Revolver CD. I’ve seen GR live plenty of times, and they’re a great,
Local Review: Ayin – The Persistent Divide
Ayin The Persistent Divide CD Baby Street: 03.23 Ayin = Linkin Park + Incubus For a debut album, The Persistent Divide delivers in ways that most new bands just can’t. High production values and a close attention to detail are apparent in every facet of this album. Past that, Ayin’s CD just doesn’t hold up
Local Review: Various Artists – S.L.C. Rules
Various Artists S.L.C. Rules 8ctopus Street: 05.11 S.L.C Rules = No New York + Yes L.A. + Salt Lake Style In 1978, Brian Eno released a compilation on Antilles Records titled, No New York. One of the most important documentations of the NYC no wave scene (including cuts from James Chance and the Contortions, Teenage
Local Review: Various Artists – Circus Brown’s Snackbox
Various Artists Circus Brown’s Snackbox KRCL 90.9 FM Street: 07.01 Circus Brown = KRCL DJ who spins on Saturday Nights, 10pm-1am Circus Brown is a power player in the realm of local music and his self-released compilation of his favorite live cuts from his show, Not a Sideshow, on KRCL is added testament to that
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. For
Local Review: Mean Molly’s Trio – Things I See
Mean Molly’s Trio Things I See Rev 13 13 Records Street: 2007 Mean Molly’s Trio = Ray Charles + The Raconteurs + Mudhoney + The Black Keys Remarkably enough, coming up with who Mean Molly’s Trio sounds like, without hurting the good name of those bands, was harder than listening to their debut record Things
Local Review: Ghetto Athlete – Tha Game of Life
Ghetto Athlete Tha Game of Life MadChild Records Street: 09.04 Ghetto Athlete = Spencer Beats + Lil’ Wayne + K-9 It’s odd to hear a local Utahn Represent Oakland and the Bay Area, but what do I know? Loaded with dopey-dope ass beats produced by Spencer Bridges, this album stands alone as one of the
Local Review: Chris Merritt – Hello, Little Captain
Chris Merritt Hello, Little Captain Jato Records Street: 05.01 Chris Merritt = Ben Folds + Kevin Burdick + Keane There is something particularly festive about the music of Chris Merritt. The songs are short narratives about parties, relationships and the woes of being a young adult male. It is obvious that Merritt is classically trained,
