City and Colour Cover Tears for Fears

Let’s take a depressing, cold and edgy Canadian singer-songwriter and then we’ll have him cover a gloomy track by Tears for Fears. Sounds fun, right? Well, City and Colour have done just that. And it’s a morning maker. Dallas Green has made a soft, beautiful piano rendition of the Tears for Fears song “Suffer the […]

STREAM: The Gaslight Anthem – “Stay Vicious”

The Gaslight Anthem keeps driving the anticipation of their new album, Get Hurt, to new levels. We’ve already heard “Get Hurt” and “Rollin’ and Tumblin’”, and of course we love it. Now the band has released its third track from the album, “Stay Vicious.” The track reaches further down in their southern roots and grabs […]

Amber Pacific Push Back EP Release Date A Month

Though the announcement of an album being pushed back isn’t usually good news, it might just be in Amber Pacific‘s case. Their crowdfunded EP, The Turn, was originally scheduled to be released tomorrow, July 29, but the band made an exciting announcement over the weekend that has pushed back the date. On their official Facebook […]

A Decade Under The Influence: 10 Years Of Taking Back Sunday’s ‘Where You Want To Be’

In the fall of 2004, I had just turned 14 years old. I was unsure of how my clothes were supposed to fit my body, and over the summer, I had grown a substantial neck beard. Girls were becoming more interesting by the day, and high school was no longer a far off destination, but […]

Weezer 2014

Weezer Takes “Back To The Shack” to ‘The Tonight Show’

Last week Weezer took us back to ’94 as they released their debut single, “Back to the Shack,” which will be off their new album, Everything Will Be Alright In The End. And if you’ve heard anything about this new album, you know the nostalgia that’s involved, and how it’s supposed to reminisce of The […]

UTG INTERVIEW: Harts Discusses Upcoming Debut, Recording Solo, and Jamming with Prince (Yes, THAT Prince)

It’s always heartwarming and amazing to hear about rookie artists meeting the legends who’ve inspired them. Typically, this usually happens when the artist is touring the country and the legend happens to be in attendance or even when the two happen to share the stage at some sort of a festival. However, in the case […]

Hilary Duff Returns With “Chasing The Sun”

UTG PREMIERE: Steff And The Articles – “I Want More”

Earlier this year, our friend Greg Robson at Absolutepunk named Steff and The Articles a must-watch band for 2014 and beyond. I was one of those fools who did not pay attention at the time, and as a result have spent the past several weeks of my life not knowing this fantastic group was getting […]

UTG PHOTOS: Driver Friendly and Candy Hearts (7/24/14)

HOLY SH!T: ‘Deadpool’ Movie Test Footage Leaks Online

In a world overrun with superhero films it seems a little strange that Deadpool, otherwise known as the merc with the mouth, has yet to be given his own film. It’s true he’s a little more violent and a lot more profane than your typical hero, but after witnessing the footage we’re about to share […]

UTG PREMIERE: Image Society – ‘The Doom Of Youth’ EP

I’m basically Garfield when it comes to my opinion on Mondays, but every so often I have a reason to get out of bed that makes the idea of beginning a new ‘work week’ slightly more digestible. Today, that reason is Image Society, and by the time you’re through enjoying the music contained within this […]
