Local Review: Jay Citrus – Suck My Lemons

Posted on October 1, 2014 (January 24, 2022) by Alton Barnhart

Gunfight Fever – Self-Titled

Hailing from Ogden, this four-piece instrumental metal outfit is packing some serious teeth in its jaws. Their debut album is well-structured, with a songwriting style reminiscent of the thrashier spectrum of NWOAHM blended with efficient prog sensibilities. … read more

Posted on December 30, 2015 (January 24, 2022) by Angela
Grey Glass – Self-Titled

Straight out of Provo, Grey Glass are somewhere between pop rock and indie rock. Amid slow-tempo drumming, singing, and infrequent acceleration on tracks like “Lioness,” the “rock-band” essence is somewhat elusive. … read more
