REVIEW: Foster The People – Torches
May 21st, 2011 James Shotwell “To conclude, this is a perfectly decent album, ambient and undemanding and making for quite soothing listening. It’s not something you’ll put on for motivational purposes and it lacks a truly clear vision, but it has merit of its own.”

March 21st, 2016 Corey From Robotic Empire has previously released two Nirvana tribute albums in the past, including last year’s Whatever, Nevermind, which featured cover tracks from La Dispute, Torche, Touché Amoré, and Circa Survive.

MOVIE REVIEW: ‘No Escape’ Offers Surprisingly Few Thrills
August 27th, 2015 James Shotwell Film: No Escape Starring: Owen Wilson, Lake Bell Directed By: John Erick Dowdle Films like No Escape may be the most frustrating of all forms of mediocre cinema, if only because you know it could be something great. Maybe it’s the script, or maybe it’s the cast, or maybe it’s a combination of both along […]
Circa Survive Release Cover Of Nirvana’s “Drain You”
March 25th, 2015 Kriston McConnell I think it’s safe to say that just about everything Circa Survive works on is usually pretty great. So any time I hear they have released something new, I tend to stop what I’m doing to give it a listen. Today is one of those days, and I definitely recommend listening to this new song […]
MOVIE REVIEW: ‘The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1’ Leaves A Lot To Be Desired
December 1st, 2014 James Shotwell Film: The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1 Starring: Jennifer Lawrence Directed by: Francis Lawrence I can still clearly recall walking out of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire with a sense of disbelief coursing through my veins. After being horribly underwhelmed by the initial outing of the Hunger Games franchise, the first sequel proved to be […]
Ten Years Later: mewithoutYou’s ‘Catch For Us The Foxes’
October 14th, 2014 Drew Caruso My first real rock concert was a Coheed and Cambria headlining tour one winter when I was somewhere between 12 and 13 years old. I was waiting in line with my mother (because she’s totally awesome and loves Coheed), and we see a bearded man covered in jackets walk in front of us and empty […]
UTG INTERVIEW: Modern Baseball @ Riot Fest Chicago 2014
September 25th, 2014 Corey From Modern Baseball is, by and large, one of the most important breakthrough artists of this year. If their first album, Sports, didn’t prove that, the band’s 2014 release of You’re Gonna Miss It All should have. Not only is their recorded music perfect for singing along and laughing, but this honest and witty four-piece perfects […]
Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett Release New Jazz Single
August 21st, 2014 Meaghan O'Brien Lady Gaga‘s Little Monsters defend her fiercely, but I have never been able to get behind Gaga’s whole thing. I never liked her songs and felt that she was sacrificing the full use of her vocal talent for gimmicks. (Are those torches and pitchforks outside my window? Do people do that anymore?) In her upcoming […]
‘Women Aren’t Funny’ Trailer: Do Women Have A Place In Comedy?
August 19th, 2014 James Shotwell Hold on, internet. Before you go reaching for pitchforks, torches, and whatever DDOS attacks you may plan against people who hate women online, please know that the headline above does not reflect our views in any way. Sometimes in order to create a great film you need to ask tough questions, and if those questions […]
