Napalm Flesh: Weedeater Interview
This week we have an interview Weedeater’s main man Dave “Dixie” Collins about nearly everything, including the somewhat-still-relevant fact that Dixie shot his big toe off while cleaning his favorite Shotgun in January of 2010. We also have reviews of Brutal Truth Extreme Noise Terror and Saviours, as well as this week’s event rundown and a bunch of links to free (!) streaming music. … read more

Colour Revolt, colourmusic, The Love Capades @ Kilby 09.16
I love attending shows at Kilby, and I’m always surprised when they’re under attended. This is a totally homegrown, all-ages venue near downtown with lots of national and local talent coming through all of the time. Get the fuck off your couches and go to shows at Kilby, kids! … read more
Agnostic Front, Naysayer, The Mongoloids @ Burt’s 09.13
I never think it’s a good idea to have a hardcore show at a bar. It’s not some condescending “principles” thing either, because everyone should get their rocks off how they want … it just doesn’t seem like a smart business move. Hardcore is a youth-oriented genre with lots of teenage fans, and it seems silly to eliminate such a large (paying!) segment from enjoying the music. … read more
Dead But Dreaming: Down Live Review
The air is getting chilly as autumn digs her merciless claws into our skin and begins to strangle the summer out of us. But the energy in the air is more than enough of a tradeoff, starspawns, and I was fortunate enough to siphon some of that lifeblood directly from metal god Philip Anselmo and his legendary cohorts in Down last week, and bring you a review of the event! It was truly a night to remember. We also have some exclusive reviews and event listings. … read more
Eyes Lips Eyes, Seve Vs. Evan, Red Orange and Apt/Chance...

They released their first LP, Blue Red, in Provo that night before holding a show release in LA at The Roxy on September 16. … read more
Gillian Welch and David Rawlings @ Kingsbury Hall 09.09
When I first found out about this event, I’d never heard of Gillian Welch or David Rawlings, at least I thought I hadn’t. A quick peruse of the Internet revealed Welch’s work with “I’ll Fly Away” and “Didn’t Leave Nobody But The Baby” on the O Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack, which happened to be one of my favorite CDs back in the day. … read more
The Used @ Dew Tour 09.09
When I found out The Used was playing at Dew Tour on Friday, I squealed in delight. Well … the 16-year-old scene girl buried inside of me squealed, that is. … read more
Napalm Flesh – Mechanized Flesh: Nader Sadek
Thank the earth—Summer, my nemesis of seasons, is definitely approaching its end. This month is kicking off a fall season in SLC that’s already loaded with boatloads of every kind of metal and all its nooks and associated crannies. This week’s blog features an interview with Nader Sadek—if you haven’t heard his album yet, you best picking it up. And as always, we have a weekly show rundown. … read more
