ElioDirectors: Madeline Sharafuan, Domew Shiil, Adrian MolinaPixar Animation StudiosIn Theaters: 06.20.2025It used to be a foregone conclusion that if there was a new release from Pixar, it wouldn’t just be the best and biggest animated hit of the summer, it would be, at the very least, a contender for the title of best overall film.
Off to Tango with the Crimson Bull at the Soapbox Race

1 week ago | slugmag.com | Alton Barnhart

It seems as if Salt Lake City has finally earned its credibility of being the big, bold, bustling metropolis it aimed to be: An all-star lineup of professional sports ready to station in its northwest Pleasure Island of sorts. A1-graded celebrity endorsements, whether through picture perfect filming locations or a damn hot pink Raising Canes. The literal passing of the torch with the announcement of hosting the 2034 Olympics.

Suffering is Softening with Vagabon’s Latest Album

1 month ago | slugmag.com | Alton Barnhart

Performing as Vagabon, multi-instrumentalist Cameroonian-American Laetitia Tamko is the kind of artist whose sound is always evolving. Her three albums, Infinite Worlds (2017), Vagabon (2019) and Sorry I Haven’t Called (2023), each have a personality of their own. Ranging from moody, Lykke Li-esque indie-rock to celestial FKA Twigs-like dance-pop, Vagabon’s projects do a little bit of everything — much like Tamko herself.

The Legend of Ochi Provides Lifelike Creatures and Bland Characters It’s perplexing to see a film that has all the makings of a wondrous experience turn out feeling so utterly unexceptional and bland.
Two Broke Boys, One Backroom: The bbno$ Interview

Expect the unexpected: something classically cliché, which still holds merit to those who’ve experienced it firsthand. It was unexpected for a white-out shitstorm to snake its way into some St. Patrick’s Day festivities.

Mercury Rev: A Gasp of Air for the Faint Pulse of Today’s Alternative Music

Jan 13, 2025 | slugmag.com | Alton Barnhart

The debate has begun: who defines alternative music today in the most authentic sense? One answer to this question is Mercury Rev, tentatively a five piece all of which reside in New York (Buffalo, Poughkeepsie). The band has become an institution, members coming and going—one of the latest recruits being a young bassist, Jason Russo (picked up after the studio session for their latest LP See You On the other Side).
Megadeth: October 1995

Jan 13, 2025 | slugmag.com | Alton Barnhart

Megadeth is one of the survivors of the 1980’s heavy metal revolution. And, they’ve got a new CD, Hidden Treasures on Capitol Records and a tour to prove it. Megadeth has been around since the mid-80’s and proof of their popularity can be found in the sales of Youthanasia, their previous CD which went platinum plus. Megadeth member Marty Friedman spoke with us.
Local Reviews: October 1995

Jan 13, 2025 | slugmag.com | Alton Barnhart

My Friend Moses W.A.Y…R? Records I must first say that MFM kicked everyone’s ass in the bio department.

Next, even though I know drummer David Liston, he is still the difference between My Friend Moses being a mediocre metal band and a listenable diverse hard rock band. Even though backed by solid playing from guitarist Phil Gallegos and bassist Josh Cushing, good drums make the songs happen.
