REVIEW: Sorority Noise – ‘It Kindly Stopped For Me’

Artist: Sorority Noise Album: It Kindly Stopped For Me EP Genre: Acoustic, Indie Label: Topshelf Records In these four songs lie a very modest ancillary of Sorority Noise – one we saw emerge out of their last record Joy, Departed. That portion speaks largely from the backburner end of lyricist and frontman Cameron Boucher’s psyche; […]

Sorority Noise release new song, ‘XC”

Channeling a little bit of Sunny Day Real Estate in their brand new song, Hartford punk four-piece Sorority Noise unveil their more delicate side. “XC” is their second single off of their upcoming record, beautifully titled It Kindly Stopped For Me. With the thinnest layer of piano and a xylophone popping out of raw guitars and […]

The show, which airs Sunday nights on Adult Swim, follows a young boy (Morty) as he journeys with his scientist grandfather (Rick) through space and time on random adventures. […]

REVIEW: Sorority Noise – ‘Joy, Departed’

Artist: Sorority Noise Album: Joy, Departed Genre: Emo, Garage Rock Label: Topshelf Records Joy, Departed doesn’t sound like a Sorority Noise record, and that’s a good thing. The band’s debut record–the aptly titled Forgettable–is a fun listen with little substance beyond a few catchy choruses and well-written one-liner lyrics. Where Forgettable serves as the polar […]

Sorority Noise Stream New Record, ‘Joy, Departed’

Sorority Noise have finally unveiled their fantastic, highly-anticipated sophomore record, Joy, Departed. You can stream the record below, courtesy of Noisey. Joy, Departed makes a noticeable shift away from the fun, yet caustic vibe of Forgettable in favor of a slower, more emo-influenced drive. The band pull the new sound off exceedingly well, and a few mold-breaking […]

UTG INTERVIEW: Sorority Noise Discuss Your New Favorite Record, ‘Joy, Departed’

“I feel like this one is building on self-deprication rather than drowning in it. I never thought I’d ever be able to write lyrics about getting better and finding all the good in the terrible.” This very statement from vocalist Cam Boucher is probably the greatest depiction of Sorority Noise’s stellar new record, Joy, Departed, […]

Sorority Noise Just Released One Of The Year’s Best Songs In “Using”

I listen to a lot of music. I figure that I check out at least two new records every week. I like a lot of what I listen to, but every year or so, I hear a song that cuts through the rest, makes my jaw hit the floor, and immediately shines forward as a song that […]

The New Sorority Noise Album Will Probably Change Our Lives

Anyone who is connected to the alternative and indie rock worlds with even the faintest of interest no doubt failed to make it out of 2014 without hearing The Hotelier‘s phenomenal album, Home Like NoPlace Is There. And that’s perfectly fine. It’s great, in fact. That album is incredible and it deserves to be heard […]

Sorority Noise Stream “Art School Wannabe”

Sorority Noise have begun streaming the lead single off their upcoming Topshelf debut, Joy, Departed. Bubbly and accessible, “Art School Wannabe” finds the Connecticut four-piece stretching their creative muscles, resulting in what is quite possibly their most concrete undertaking to date. The hooks are huge, the songwriting is top notch, and Modern Baseball’s Jacob Ewald […]

Sorority Noise Announce New Record ‘Joy, Departed’

Sorority Noise, the Connecticut indie-punk band featuring Old Gray’s Cameron Boucher, have built up a pretty ridiculous amount of stream from their Broken World Media debut, Forgettable. The band’s first record is full of catchy punk songs, similar to Modern Baseball and The Front Bottoms, with a poorly-produced charm that sets them apart from their peers. After […]
