Listen to Bon Iver’s First New Song in 3 Years

Considering Justin Vernon certainly has not vanished from the music scene for a single year following Bon Iver‘s 2008 debut (which could technically be said for up to a decade predating that as well), it may come as a surprise that he hasn’t actually put out a track with Bon Iver in three years. After being roped in to contribute […]

Paul McCartney Feels “Great” and Reschedules US Tour in Short Video

The one and only Paul McCartney contracted a severe virus a few weeks ago that took him off the road. The sickness called for immediate hospitalization and resulted in a slew of his US tour dates being temporarily cancelled until further notice. Thankfully things are looking up. This week, The Beatles’ icon has shared video proof […]

UTG LIST: The Best Releases You Might Have Missed From The First Half of 2014

If there’s one thing 2014 has brought us thus far it is an array of fantastic music. It seems as though every week there is a new record released that needs to be thrown into the consideration for album of the year. For our mid-year review at Under The Gun, we wanted to bring you […]

Masked Intruder Presents: ‘Mugshots & Masks: Part 1’

What does Masked Intruder think of the criminal mischief of Justin Bieber and Coolio? Can anyone help the blue intruder get in touch with Lindsay Lohan? Last week, UTG TV got the chance to sit down and hang out with the colors of Masked Intruder before their set in New York City. Prior to taking […]

Stream Bleachers’ New Song “Like A River Runs”

Jack Antonoff is popping up everywhere this year. The fun. member started a new project titled Bleachers in February and they’ve been nailing their sound since their first single dropped. We’ve already heard “Shadow” and “I Wanna Get Better,” and now we get another new track, “Like A River Runs,” which features an impressive set of vocals […]

Listen to Little Daylight’s New Single “My Life”

Electro-pop isn’t a new sound, but it’s certainly hard to make your own new style within it. We’ve got our eyes on Little Daylight, the Brooklyn pop trio who are slowly rolling out hits and remixes that can easily be pinned to the band’s name. We interviewed them back in June of last year, and […]

Hear Usher’s New Song “I Don’t Mind” Featuring Juicy J

Even though Usher may not be in the front lines the same way miss Minaj or Lil Wayne are, he never seems to fade from our minds over the years. The singer/actor/competitive vocal coach will be dropping a new album this year. We heard the album’s first track “Good Kisser” back in May, and today […]

RiFF RAFF Shares Ridiculous “iNTRODUCiNG THE iCON” Music Video

The internet’s favorite rapper RiFF RAFF drops his debut record NEON iCON  tomorrow to much well-deserved hype. To get the world prepped for the experience of actually owning the whole Diplo-produced thing, he’s shared a new music video for the album’s first track, “iNTRODUCiNG THE iCON.” The song has RiFF RAFF telling people not to worry (shoutout to […]

A Decade of Questions: 10 Years of Midtown’s ‘Forget What You Know’

You can look at anniversaries for albums in two different ways: 1) to remember the feels and take in the nostalgia that it brings, or 2) to view how the band has progressed since. Obviously, with Midtown all but defunct (due to a few recent reunion shows this year), you can’t really do the latter […]

So Now There’s This English-Language ‘Audition’ Remake

Because the English-language J-horror remakes won’t end until we run out of J-horror hits to remake – and likely not even then – we can now look forward to an Audition starring white people. As reported by Deadline, Mario Kassar is putting together an adaptation of the notorious 1997 novel (and not an adaptation of the unduplicable Takashi Miike adaptation). […]

10 Years Later: Alexisonfire’s ‘Watch Out!’

Alexisonfire seemed to not so much break up as drift apart. Dallas Green’s City and Colour was catching on with listeners. Wade MacNeil was chosen to replace Frank Carter in Gallows. With two of the band’s key members going or gone, George Pettit posted a statement — which wasn’t the most amicable-sounding — announcing the […]

Stream Paramore’s ‘Ain’t It Fun Remixes’ EP

Looks like Paramore can’t help but have fun with everything they do. A little while ago, the group “stole” Justin Bieber’s artwork to create a spoof song as revenge, tried to break a handful of world records in their “Ain’t It Fun” music video, and are currently rocking out on the Monumentour with Fall Out Boy. Don’t worry; […]
