ALBUM STREAM: Off With Their Heads – ‘Home’

Punk rockers Off With Their Heads aren’t going to be putting out their latest album Home until next Tuesday, March 12. That isn’t the stopping the band and their label, Epitaph Records, from putting the entire album up on YouTube to stream a week ahead of its release. Home showcases a refreshingly straightforward and hard knuckled […]

WATCH: Dave Grohl, Rick Springfield, And John Fogerty Cover Creedence Clearwater Revival And Perform A ‘Sound City’ Original On ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’

Dave Grohl’s promotion junket for his Sound City documentary seems never ending and we don’t have a problem with that. We reported a few weeks back when the frontman of the recently reactivated Foo Fighters appeared on Chelsea Lately to pique the brain of Sir Elton John. But Grohl and some of his fellow Sound City […]

Morrissey Includes Rick Astley On Cover Of Reissued Single “The Last Of The Famous International Playboys” After Bowie Snub

We haven’t been following most of singer/songwriter Morrissey’s recent shenanigans, from his attempt to turn the Los Angeles Staples Center vegetarian for one night to his ongoing enmity with late night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel. He’s been a busy crank! But this was just too good (and too meme-y) to pass up. Pitchfork is […]

Lil B Giving Up

MUSIC VIDEO: Lil B – “Giving Up”

Lil B, indisputably the rawest and realest rapper alive or dead, now and in perpetuity*, dropped some next level visuals for his track “Giving Up”. Alright, enough jokes. This is, objectively speaking, a good to great song and music video. It’s a conscious affair colored by the fact that this is still a based affair. […]

That’s why we love this time of year here at Under The Gun Review. The tour date announcements just don’t stop coming. This time, it’s sunny yet hazy indie pop duo Best Coast who are giving word that they’ll be adding a few more dates to their 2013 tour schedules. The band will soon be […]

STREAM: Conditions – “Open Eyes”

Alternative rock act Conditions have already graced us once with a taste of their upcoming full length Full of War. The band must be in a giving spirit, as they’ve put out another cut from their album-to-be, “Open Eyes”. In the mood for something big sounding and anthemic? “Open Eyes” just might be the scratch […]

Japandroids Announce Summer Tour Dates With The Gaslight Anthem, Cloud Nothings, And A Place To Bury Strangers

Garage rock duo Japandroids just announced a string of dates that’ll take them from the vernal equinox to through the June solstice. For those who need to bone up on your astronomical terminology, it means the group will be jangling, banging, and wailing out their particular brand of rock all this spring and for a […]

Alien Ant Farm Announce PledgeMusic Campaign For New Album ‘Always And Forever’

Alien Ant Farm, remember them? They of “Smooth Criminal” and “Movies” fame? Yeah, those guys! “Where are they now?” might ask. A valid question; after a handful of radio hits and four albums, the group dropped off the radar without much notice. It turns out the group is alive and kicking and they need help […]

Las Vegas, NV post-hardcore/experimental four piece Stolas are gearing up for the release of their full length debut Living Creatures in March 14 by putting out “Year Of The Light” on YouTube for all to stream and enjoy.

Streetlight Manifesto Outline “The End Of The Beginning Tour”

Journeymen ska act Streetlight Manifesto have gone through a great deal to get their upcoming album The Hands That Thieve out to their fans. Of course, a release that hard-won deserves a big support tour for it and the band is more than happy to oblige their fans! But this might be the last time […]

STREAM: Schematic – ‘Color (N.) Inside The Lines’

We’ve been tracking Mae frontman Dave Elkins’ solo project Schematic since word came out back in November that it was even a thing. One successful Kickstarter project and a couple of weeks spent in the studio later and now we can hear the sonic fruits of Elkins’ effort. Color (n.) Inside The Lines won’t officially come out until […]

Gucci Mane Changes His Name To Guwop… For About Half An Hour

Gucci, Gucci, Gucci. Smh. Atlanta-based rapper Gucci Mane caused a minor stir on Twitter this morning when he announced, apropos of nothing, that he would be changing his hip-hop nom de guerre from the recognizable Gucci Mane to… Guwop. July 2nd I’m officially changing my rap name to Guwop and retiring the great GucciMane Thanks […]
