Review: Volume 3

by Greg Lockwood under PLAY on May 9th

You’re driving down a highway, but not an interstate highway where the speed limit is seventy miles-per-hour, a historically designated scenic highway where the speed limit tops out at around forty. You’re driving a convertible with the top down, but the convertible is not a muscle or sports car, something more like a Mini Cooper. The wind’s blowing past your face, but not hard enough that you’re...

The Protomen – First Live in SLC

by Xopher Reed under FEATURED on Sep 10th

I was introduced to The Protomen by a dear friend and contributor to WPR, Evan Burkey. The whole concept of a band being inspired by Capcom’s Mega Man game series was something that I was practically salivating over until I heard their first album, after which I was made a lifelong fan. A group that is capable of twisting the never ending battle between the good Thomas Light and the dastardly Albert Wily into a soon...

RLR Special – Interview With The Protomen

by Xopher Reed under FEATURED on Sep 8th

Before podcasts, before the desire to do shit on the Internet, I used to attend concerts all the damn time. I’m talking 3 sometimes 4 a week during the summer and fall. You’d be surprised with who exactly comes to tour this hallowed state of ours here in Utah. Quit laughing, Utah is cool.

Let Me Reintroduce Myself

by Xopher Reed under READ on Sep 4th

My name is Xopher Reed…that’s EX-OH-FER…or Chris if you really know me. I started this here website up a little over 4 years ago in the summer of 2007, July if I recall. That’s neither here nor there really, since it has gone through a few changes since I started it up. The first was the name change, well, because people tend to not want to type the word whore into a URL when at work, therefore...

The Afterman: The Story So Far…

The Brothers Steam: Steam Powered Giraffe

by Isaac Wilkins under PLAY on Jun 27th

I live with a lot of kids. I’m not sure I can press that issue enough here. At any given point in time, there are at least three kids in the house, plus the ones that live here. At one point, we had 19 people show up at the house with absolutely zero planning. They just missed us. So, naturally, it’s very important that I do things around the house that the kids can be involved in. I leave copies of Axe Cop...

Immortal Midget and Cocaine-Addled Pimp Bird

Normally, I’d start this with something along the lines of ‘ignore misleading title’. But, don’t ignore the title, because it is in no way misleading. Kill Audio is just that awesome.
