Utopia Park - Utopia Shark


Dom Rabalais is one of the most influential people i've met in a long time. Not only did i see him perform in 3 different bands in the same night, he also set up the show and pretty much runs the venue, and is the epicenter of the FAIRFIELD IOWA music scene. Don't take Iowa off your map just because you know slipknots from there, They have one of the coolest and most fun music scenes i've gotten to experience in a long time. Utopia Park is brothers Dom & Phil, who literally power the entire city of Fairfield with their sweat. Whether Dom's jumping off of speakers or doing Frontwards rolls with hisguitar on, it's a fucking site to behold. This song is too catchy for words. They go for that lo-fi production feel of My Bloody Valentines soft washed out vocals, and to a degree it works. Personally i'd love to hear the vocals more up front in the mix, but i'm still singing along.
