The 1975 @ Saltair with Colouring, Pale Waves
Droves of trendy teenage millennials converged on Saltair on May 5, and when the doors opened, the screaming diaspora flooded into the venue oddly juxtaposed with a soothing oceanic odor in the air. My self-imposed mission entailed chasing the night’s act—burgeoning genre-bending pop masters The 1975. … read more

Local Reviews: A Balance Of Power
It’s always interesting to run into new metal locals in S.L.C. because it’s not too often you see metal heads scurry around Utah streets. A Balance of Power is new to me and Stomp the Ground is an album with five jams that have a crossover mix of metal. … read more
Local Reviews: Clayton Carr
At a dance party comprised of a packed, windowless room of T-Pain fanatics, hair gel and “shawties” all uncontrollably grinding away, this album would probably go over quite well.

As with other discs released by label owner Eli Morrison (Vile Blue Shades, the Wolfs, Pink Lightnin’, etc.), there is a certain amount of built-in rarity with this one—it is limited to 250 copies. … read more
Local Reviews: Lindsay +INFLUENZI+ Heath
Lindsay Heath is an artist entirely in her own right, comparisons to other female pianists aside. When not busy adding her unique talents drumming and playing to the arsenal of others, she unlocks her own powers on personal projects like this. … read more
Local Reviews: Loom
Salt Lake music fans would have to have lived under a rock (or maybe in a stake center) to miss seeing Loom’s name on a marquee or show flier. The most indie of Broship is back, sporting a more refined and matured sound in Selva Molhada via Exigent Records. … read more
