So there’s that. Utah doubles for Afghanistan as the flick follows an American Special Forces unit picking off “Class D hostiles” — that’s code for undead Middle Easterns — as it searches for the enemy camp.

Garage-pop duo Dadrock had a bloody good time during its debut Opolis performance roughly a year ago. “I was horribly sick that day and took too much Mucinex, which gave me a massive nosebleed right as we were doing soundcheck,” singer/ guitarist Kevin Lough said. “I was in the bathroom nearly passing out while [drummer […]

I just want to play music.” Originally from Florida, Savannah considers Oklahoma City her adoptive home. And it’s here where […]
