JEFF the Brotherhood “Heavy Days”

by producer Dustin Verburg

It’s been a good few years for punk rock, especially the fuzzed-out, devil-may-care brand known as garage punk. It’s more popular now than it has been since the Hives, White Stripes and Black Keys all pushed into the mainstream in the 00s. When those bands emerged,…

On the opening track, “Horchata”, front man Ezra Koenig belts, “Here comes a feeling you thought you’d forgotten” like somehow he knew that we’ve missed Vampire Weekend’s joyous Afro/Indie/Pop/Rock fusion since their eponymous debut. A pounding drum line paired with echoed choruses of “oh!” make this track an album standout.

Concert Review by: Travis Cahill, Joe Newman, Derek Younger & Alex Weiss

With an audience of over 1,500 fans, it was only a short wait in line before getting into the Salt Lake City Convention Center on a cold Friday night. The venue ended up having concrete walls and floor. About a half hour later the opening band, Dusty Rhodes and the River Band, got on stage and began their set.
