Beer of the Month: Sir Malcom’s Stout
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

Local Reviews: Stumphead
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
Local Reviews: Theta Naught
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
Local Reviews: Uncle Scam
There is only word I can really use to describe Uncle Scam: “Sexxxcellent.” The band, no matter how good they are, has contributed to the English language in a way where it will never be the same. “Sexxxcellent” is the title of the second track on the band’s genre-smashing, provactive full length, and I’m pretty sure the song is about singer Ischa’s sexual encounter with some unnamed grappling partner. … read more

Hedwig and the Angry Inch bring comical banter, Utah-focused jokes, unbeatable musical talent and a remarkable story to the SLC scene as Hedwig enters the stage in pumps, glitter and all the rage. … read more
Local Reviews: Apache, The
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
Local Reviews: Arsenic Addiction
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
Local Reviews: Burnell Washburn
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
