THE MORNING AFTER: TAMERLANE/RHINOCEROS

I don't know how many times I can say good things about Reflect before it gets annoying but the band rules, hands down, no jokes, rules.

They're heading into the studio this winter to record their sure-to-be-epic, first full-length. After selling out of their 2007 demo, they've posted all the tunes here, so get it while it's hot. Video of the 108 cover and Clinton destroying his already broken hand will be up soon.

Speaking of Clinton's broken hand, Montreal's Positive Feedback, I mean, Salt Lake's Gloves Off played next. We threw out some golden oldies from DYS, Project X and Sheer Terror along with some contemporary classics from Floorpunch

and Integrity. Thank you so much for singing along

and tearing my guitar cords apart.

An extra special thanks goes out to Joe Jackson for belting out "When Tigers Fight" with us and to our singer Pierre, drummer Pierre, guitarist Pierre and bassist Pierre for making Positive Feedback, I mean, Gloves Off's set a blast.

Buffalo's Rhinoceros were up next. This band finally got to play a legitimate hardcore show in Salt Lake and it was everything anyone thought it would be. Rumor has it they'll be swinging back through town around Halloween with Celebrity, Armed for Battle and Animosity sike a little band called Tyrant. GCA will keep you in the know.

What more can be said about Tamerlane? Best

Salt Lake hardcore band of all time in my book. They brought along all the brutally-honest, gut-wrenching classics and even threw in an epic new song to wet the city's taste buds for good things to come.

Many thanks to everyone who came out, supported and had a good time. August's shows were tons of fun and things are only on the up-and-up for Grudge City Hardcore. Couldn't do it without you.
