Grimes Scraps New Album Because Fans Don’t Like “Go”

Grimes is all over the internet, and the internet is all over Grimes. The 26-year-old Canadian singer-songwriter is known to speak freely with fans online, speak up against drugs, and put down her foot in discussions regarding sexism. There’s a thin wall between her and her audience, but now those very fans are keeping themselves […]

Grimes Visits a Metaphorical Hell in “Go” Video

Like we needed another reason to love Grimes. We were already in love with her new track “Go,” which her and Blood Diamond apparently wrote for Rihanna. But I think any song would be better done by Grimes. So thanks, Rihanna, for messing that one up. Now, we have a video for it, and it […]

Grimes Gives Away Rihanna-Rejected “Go” for Free

Grimes is just as popular in the indie world as she is in the Tumblr world. As a result, when she debuted a new song at Governors Ball Festival this year called “Go” that was written for Rihanna and told the crowd Rihanna turned it down, crackly audio of that version spread quickly. Now the track […]

Indie favorite Grimes is making headlines around the world today with a new blog posted to her Tumblr page on the topic of sexism in music.

MUSIC VIDEO: L$D (Kreayshawn, Grimes, Tragik and Blood Diamonds) – Don’t Smoke My Blunt

We just learned what it takes to ruin our week in just 3 short minutes, a new music video from L$D (Kreayshawn, Grimes, Tragik and Blood Diamonds). This collaboration of artists should have probably never come together. Apparently this song was made in 10 minutes and the video was shot in an hour. Really? Could […]

OP-ED: Ariel Pink, Frank Zappa & The Honesty In Vulgarity

In defense of Ariel Pink, guest contributor Justin Joffe has offered his thoughts on one of the most controversial men currently in the forefront of indie music. Ariel Pink released his newest LP, Pom Pom, last week. It wasn’t with a quiet press release but a heady PR clusterfuck of tacky, tinseltown themed events, an […]

UTG PHOTOS: Pitchfork Music Festival 2014 (7/18/14)

Under the Gun sent photographer Nina Corcoran to Union Park in Chicago, IL from July 18-20 for Pitchfork Music Festival. Every year, Pitchfork Music Festival announces its lineup and I let out a little wimper over in Boston from jealousy. The music blog’s annual festival has been going on for ten years now in Chicago, and as such […]

UTG PHOTOS: Governors Ball Music Festival

Under The Gun sent photographer, Nick Karp, to Randall’s Island in New York City to photograph the Governors Ball Music Festival. Much has changed since I attended the first Governors Ball Music Festival, including (thankfully) a new location, more days added to the festival, and there no longer being the gimmick of “No Overlapping Set times.” The market […]
