As we enter the month of December, you may start seeing more big, full-bodied beers that are maxed out with flavor and fat with alcohol. Sir Malcom’s Stout walks the line between two worlds: it’s a flavorful option that doesn’t have that hammering blow. … read more
Mike Zanelli – Crooked Grind – SLC, Utah

When I first looked at the album art (done in MS Paint by the looks of it) and subsequently popped in the CD, I just assumed that the band was made up of a bunch of lazy, masturbating high school sophomores. Imagine my surprise when minimal web-based research revealed that these dudes are old enough to grow facial hair and drink in bars. … read more
It’s Naught Christmas-time! If there is one thing to avoid like the plague this Holiday season it is overproduced, pandering Christmas albums. Luckily, for Theta Naught, Naught Christmas is none of those things. … read more

Apache, The, is not Drew Danburry. Seriously. Stop calling them that. Although Danburry may be on vocals here and his characteristically verbose songwriting is all over this introductory eight song EP, this is a hairy beast of a record that is hardly the positivist, restrained acoustic music Danburry is known for playing. … read more
Salt Lake’s Arsenic Addiction have returned from their well-received debut EP Requiem of the Fallen to offer a follow-up of a more expansive, more lavishly produced and finer tuned full-length with An Undertaker’s Lament. … read more
It’s good to hear quality hip hop produced right here in SLC. Burnell Washburn is young and his inexperience is evident, but that’s not a bad thing. I’m tired of too many veterans touring on the strength of some radio hit from 1994. Burn. … read more
Circular Blood Stains on My Family Crest has to have been recorded outside of Kilby Court by the campfire. If that’s not the case, then it was most likely recorded in my dad’s bathroom while he was in there doing his business. … read more
