If you’re a fan of passionate, melodic pop punk bands like Hostage Calm and Captain, We’re Sinking, then do yourself a favor and head over to AbsolutePunk to stream “Dreams,” the new track from New Bedford, Massachusetts group Half Hearted Hero. “Dreams” is markedly different from Half Hearted Hero’s 2013 LP, Whatever, using smoother vocals […]

UTG ALBUM PREMIERE: Alright. – ‘Sleep Study’

Being a resident of the Queen City, it’s always exciting to be exposed to talent within its ever-growing music scene, so hearing the lo-fi/pop-punk combination of Charlotte, North Carolina, outfit Alright for the first time was a true pleasure to say the least. Thus, we’re even more excited to be able to premiere the trio’s […]

Prepare Yourselves: Atreyu Are About To Do Something Cool (We Think)

Earlier this year we spent an entire afternoon battling heart palpitations while considering the possibility of Atreyu returning from their hiatus to once more rock audiences around the world.

REVIEW: Plastic Yellow Band – ‘Breathe Air’

Artist: Plastic Yellow Band Album: Breathe Air Genre: Rock, Classic Rock Plastic Yellow Band is classic rock with some modern twists.

This Wild Life Stream ‘Clouded’ In Full

Clouded is easily one of the few albums that are at the top of my “most anticipated” list so far this year. This Wild Life seemed to have come up out of nowhere and took the scene by storm. Their debut album is just a week away from hitting stores, and they’ve teamed up with […]

J.K. Simmons Settles For Nothing But The Best In New ‘Whiplash’ Clip

Coming out of Sundance, Whiplash was easily one of the most talked-about films – especially the performance of a certain perennial character actor in J.K. Simmons. Directed by Damien Chazelle, the film depicts the journey of aspiring jazz drummer Andrew Neyman (“it” boy and Mr. Fantastic himself, Miles Teller) as pushed by the hyper intense Terence Fletcher […]
