ReviewsMichael Olivier – Tired BonesTired Bones is still very much an emo/hardcore album, which is Olivier’s natural habitat, but his rock and roll roots peek out from time to time, giving us a glimpse at the scope of this maturing songwriter.

Tired Bones is much more concise, with tight guitar licks and dare I say poppy melodies, clearly showing Olivier as the captain of the ship.Jed Murphy · Feb 1, 2018FeaturesSilver & Gold – The Long Road HomeWhen Silver & Gold began five years ago in Greeley, Colorado, reaching the point where they were releasing material and actively touring was a distant dream.Jed Murphy · Jan 1, 2018FeaturesThe Burroughs Got To Feel“I’m so proud of this, from top to bottom,” says Johnny Burroughs, vocalist and band leader of the Greeley soul band The Burroughs about their latest album, Got to Feel.Jed Murphy · Dec 1, 2017FeaturesMaddy O’Neal: Big Year, Bright FutureFor the last year, EDM artist Maddy O’Neal has been hitting the road hard.Jed Murphy · Dec 1, 2017FeaturesThe National Parks Tell Their StoryBrady Parks, vocalist and songwriter of The National Parks, was drawn to folk music by the storytelling aspect of the genre.Jed Murphy · Nov 1, 2017ReviewsBandWagon Release: Bitter Suns – Surfin’ With ScoobIf anyone knows how to get weird in the Northern Colorado music scene for Halloween it’s going to be the dudes from Bitter Suns.Jed Murphy · Oct 31, 2017FeaturesThe Burroughs Premier New Video “Touch the Sky”I hope you are ready because The Burroughs are back at it!Jed Murphy · Oct 19, 2017FeaturesITS JUST BUGS。Its Just Bugs。 are one of the most outrageous bands to ever win the BandWagon Battle of the Bands.Jed Murphy · Oct 2, 2017MusicAlbum Review: Protomartyr– Relatives in DescentRelatives in Descent, Protomartyr’s third full-length record reads like an existential crisis, full of the bitterness and anger we have come to expect from their style of post punk.Jed Murphy · Oct 2, 2017Concert PhotosThe War On Drugs Pay Tribute to Tom PettySelling out two nights at the Ogden Theatre October 14th and 15th, The War On Drugs established themselves as a Colorado favorite.Jed Murphy · Oct 2, 2017FeaturesIn The Whale – Not Their First RodeoFor Nate Valdez and Eric Reilly of the two-piece rock band In The Whale, the last seven years has been a wild ride on the slow burn to success.Jed Murphy · Sep 1, 2017FeaturesTalkin’ Shop with RooneyRooney is a band you know you’ve heard.
