In 2022, The Band Camino teased a song titled “Afterthought” on their social media. It took like a wildfire quickly growing a loyal fanbase of its own. Everytime they’ve released new music since it’s been met with a call for the release of the song. Finally that call was answered and after 3 years of waiting fans finally got to hear “Afterthought”. Hot off the release of that single, let’s take a look back at the most energetic and fun filled night that Utah has seen in a while. To Utah, every Band Camino show feels like a hometown show, the energy, the excitement and the singing at the top of your lungs type of energy emanates the room as fans soak in every moment.

If there is one thing I know for certain, it’s that Salt Lake City, Utah loves the Band Camino. Every time they’ve graced the stage in Utah it’s met with nothing but love and excitement in return. As I waited in line before their Never Always Tour stop in Salt Lake, I chatted with another girl in line. We shared stories of the different times we had been to their shows throughout the year and she mentioned that she went and saw them at the Delta Center when they opened for Dan and Shay. She laughed while telling me that she didn’t even like Dan and Shay that much, she just wanted to see The Band Camino.

This tour marks the fifth time I have seen them live over the course of three years. The thing with the Band Camino is they do the best job of any artist, at staying true to their roots and image, while still being able to create a new and engaging set each tour. This tour was no different, with a diverse setlist, it was a great time for the oldest of fans to the newest.

In an interesting twist they kicked off their set with the classic “Daphne Blue”. Traditionally they usually end with this song. Instead they went all out from the start, with blue confetti and everything. They then played a variety of songs, including songs like; “I Think I Like You”, “Know Me”, and then my personal favorite from their latest album “Baggy Jeans”.

Half-way through the set they switched it up for a short 3 song acoustic set. I LOVED this set up. The band, consisting of Jeffery Jordan and Spencer Stewart who both sing and play guitar, and Garrison Burgess who plays the drums, all came out and sat on stools in a semi circle facing the crowd. The lights dimmed and it felt as though we were all participating in an intimate living room concert. You know, the ones that all music fans dream of having with their favorite artists. What I specifically loved about this was that it allowed maybe newer fans, or people listening to them for the first time to really hear their voices in an unobstructed way. Spencer sang “Damage” and a cover of Justin Bieber’s “Daisies” and Jeffery sang “Hates Me Yet (222)”. If this set told me anything, it’s that I think it’s vital that the Band Camino releases an acoustic album or EP someday. 

After the acoustic set they flipped back to full production with Karaoke. The night continued and the energy only continued to grow. By the time we got to “Haunted” , a song from their first EP it felt like the energy would push the roof off the building. It was crazy, after that song Jeffery told the crowd how every tour that song just builds and builds, it gets better and more fun to play each time. He also shared how they don’t have one song that out streams another, all of their songs are pretty equally streamed. In my opinion, it speaks to the consistency of their music and talent as a band.

As it happens with shows, they all, unfortunately, must come to an end. They played their ever popular “See Through” song before leaving the stage. The cheers to get them back on were deafening, in a good way of course. When they finally returned on stage they played a final two songs 12:34 which was released a few days before the concert. This was fun as they initiated good crowd involvement by breaking the crowd up into groups and competing with each other and then they ended with a personal favorite of mine from their first EP “What I Want”. I need to take a moment to talk about how epic this finale was. The lighting was amazing. They went with a white backlight that was super strong, I am not totally sure, but it felt like the lighting got stronger and stronger as the song went on, matching the sound and vibe of the song until the finale when it was the strongest. As I mentioned at the beginning, their choice of song for their finale was different than years past and I don’t think they could have done any better with the change. While Daphne Blue has an iconicness to it, this finale was truly cinematic. 

While there is always a bittersweetness that comes with going to a concert. Sweet because you get to see your favorite artists, bitter because it will likely be a while before you see them again. The Band Camino can be sure that Salt Lake City will always be there to welcome them with a large crowd, massive sing-alongs and loud cheering. Whatever the timeline, Utah is anxiously awaiting their return.

Singles Match
The Home Town Man vs. Brooks Jensen (w/Lexis King)

Home Town Man is slightly over and Brooks was fine here. Stayed quick enough to not start to show its cracks.

This was okay. Both women are moving their way up and Xia I feel will be a bigger name for some time.

Squash.

Singles Match
Mustafa Ali vs. Trey Miguel

They kept it fast and straight forward here. Ali winning was the logical choice but at least they let Miguel get some in.

3 / 5

Eight Man Tag Team Match
Cedric Alexander, Steve Maclin & The Hardys (Jeff Hardy & Matt Hardy) vs. Channing Lorenzo, Lexis King & The High Ryze (Tyriek Igwe & Tyson Dupont)

A set up preview to the PPV. A lot of stuff happens here and a cheat win works. Maclin looked like gold here while as usual Matt Hardy is just rough to watch anymore.

Singles Match
The Beast Mortos vs. Gravity

Speed vs power here and it was fine. Nothing special and at just over 4 minutes it didn’t do much or overstay its welcome. 

2.5 / 5

Six Man Tag Team Match
Dalton Castle & The Outrunners (Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd) vs. Rosario Grillo & The Frat House (Griff Garrison & Jacked Jameson) (w/Preston Vance)

Frat House is such a bad team. The downfall of what Preston Vance could have been needs to be studied. Outrunners and Dalton are fun and could be a solid trio. A quick meaningless match though. 

2 / 5

Singles Match
Trish Adora vs. Leila Grey

Leila Gray is missing that one thing to make her a bigger star but I hope she gets there. This was okay overall but dragged a little in the middle which feels awful to say in a 6 minute match. 

2 / 5

Six Man Tag Team Match
Jay Alexander, Jimmy House & Vin Parker vs. The Dark Order (Alex Reynolds, Evil Uno & John Silver)

Dark Order are still over and likely will also be. This was a squash and I’m not sure if Dark Order will ever get more than this. 

1.5 / 5

Singles Match
Diamante vs. Persephone

A solid match here with Persephone who picks up the win. Her getting a win over someone more established like Diamante works. Persephone really needs a new outfit though.

The Long Walk might go down as a film in 2025 not enough people see. A simple story that makes you think and will actually shock you in moments.

The premise here is pretty simple. In a post war US that is decades into a seemingly severe depression there is a contest held by a military figure named ‘The General’ which sees a lottery happen. One boy from every state is chosen and tasked with the simple task of walking, without a break and maintaining a 3 mile per hour strode, until there is only one left. The winner will then get one wish of theirs granted.

The walk itself is staged as a patriotic thing and a cause for everyone to come together in even if by joining you are essentially signing a death wish. If you fail to maintain your speed or anything of the sort you aren’t just pulled off and jailed, you are shot in the head, brutally, right then and there.

What we get here is a powerful showing of kids who don’t entirely want to be there but sign up for various reasons and the friendships that occur during their death walk. 400+ miles with no breaks of any sort and these boys of different backgrounds share their stories and dreams with one another showing the true good humanity in them amid such a dark and horrible situation.

The film doesn’t shy away from the sheer brutality of the walk either. We see how the army without mercy executes these kids in front of each other. You see the struggle of them walking their feet sore, getting sick, and everything in between while they all struggle to make sure they don’t see another one of their colleges killed.

For a film that really takes place almost entirely on a road too it never feels static. Its shot beautifully and in a way that it always feels different and as if we are moving forward (while we technically always are). The acting here is terrific and will pull your heart strings towards the end.

Overall The Long Walk will leave you thinking and have a long standing impression on you. Its grim, dark, bleak, but with the slightest bit of hope sprinkled in. In a year where horror has had many shining moments The Long Walk is one of them.

Wyandotte, MI — December 5, 2025 — Josh Malone

Drake White returned to Michigan with a full force of charisma and country-soul energy as his Keep It Movin’ Tour rolled into District 142 on Friday night. White delivered a performance that showcased both his rugged vocal power and his unmistakable authenticity.

The evening kicked off with an impressive set from rising Nashville trio, The Woods, whose warm harmonies and organic sound immediately set the tone. Their blend of roots-driven songwriting and polished musicianship earned early cheers and served as an ideal lead-in for the Alabama-born headliner.

When the lights dropped and Drake White took the stage, he wasted no time diving straight into heart and heritage. He opened with “Grandpa’s Farm,” a crowd-pleasing choice that instantly lit up the room. White’s stage presence was electric from the first note, smiling wide, and engaging the audience with the kind of easy, natural charm that has become his signature.

From there, he kept momentum high with a dynamic blend of fan favorites and reflective deep cuts. “Mix ‘Em With Whiskey” brought a rowdy, rollicking energy that had fans yelling every word, while “Wildflower” showcased White’s tender, soulful side. His ability to effortlessly shift between fiery grit and smooth, heartfelt warmth is a big part of what makes his live shows so deeply resonant.

The highlight of the night, though, was undoubtedly “Makin’ Me Look Good Again.” As the first chords played, the place cheered, couples pulling each other close, voices rising to meet White’s soulful growl. The performance was raw and powerful, with White pouring everything he had into the song that remains his signature song. It served as a reminder of both his vocal prowess and his deep emotional storytelling.

Throughout the evening, White embodied the spirit of his tour’s name, constantly moving, constantly uplifting, constantly engaging. By the time he wrapped his set, District 142 felt less like a concert venue and more like a community, bound together by shared energy and White’s undeniable connection with his fans.

With the Keep It Movin’ Tour wrapping up, Drake White continues to prove that he’s far more than just a talented vocalist, he’s a showman, a storyteller, and a force of positivity who leaves every room brighter than he found it. Wyandotte got the full experience, and it’s safe to say the city won’t forget it anytime soon.

Drake White has three remaining shows on the Keep It Movin” Tour, including the final two in his home state of Alabama. But I am sure this will not be the last time we see White, as his upbringing in this industry is just beginning.

After being a huge fan of Yorgos Lanthimos last film, also starring Emma Stone, Poor Things I went into Bugonia with some high expectations and was somewhat let down.

We follow two young men who are wrapped up in conspiracy theories that have led them to believe that the high ranking female CEO of a major company in their town is actually an alien in disguise. They somehow get away with kidnapping her and then hold her in their basement where they begin various methods on her of what they believe to be ways to get her to admit to being an alien so they negotiate their race leaving earth and humans alone.

The story itself is so far out there but shockingly predictable. Every major moment I saw coming from a mile away which almost left feeling like there was nothing truly coming. Granted one scene in particular even expecting it was still shocking, it didn’t resonate the same way as previous films of his.

What will be most divisive among viewers though is if you love or hate the ending, which I am in the latter of. There might not have been many other ways to tackle it but I just didn’t enjoy it none the less.

The real stand out here goes to Jesse Plemons who plays a country folk conspiracy nut down to a perfection. Fully engrossing his cousin, who is a bit on the slower side, played by Aidan Delbis into the mix its frightening because of his realistic he comes off and knowing that there are many people in the country similar to him at this exact moment. Emma Stone of course knocks it out of the park even if this is an easier role seemingly than her last Yorgos role in Poor Things.

Its an enjoyable watch led by some great performances that just gets bogged down because of the story and climax. It will end up being something you either truly loved or just feel a little let down by. Regardless its worth the view though.

Score :

3.5 / 5
