Leanne Cushing’s ‘Best of 2013’ In Music

My friends, UTG colleagues and I are all driven and inspired by music in some way or another. It is the art form that we connect with the most; it is the way we communicate our aspirations to the outside world and helps connect us to people with similar loves, dreams and ambitions.

The Strokes 2013

HOLY SH!T: The Strokes New Album Coming In 2013

The Strokes haven’t released an album since 2011’s Angles. They have talked about working on the next effort before, but this still caught me very off guard. The Strokes will have a new album out in 2013, with a new song, “All The Time”, sent to a radio station and set to leak “soon“. Guitarist […]

DOWNLOAD: Tera Melos – “Tropic Lane”

Tera Melos have been working on a new record for some time. I would even guess that the album’s been finished for a while since guitarist and vocalist Nick Reinhardt had the time to come out with a solo album for Christmas. Today, they had a song, “Tropic Lane” premier on Rolling Stone from their […]

Bad Religion Announces Spring Tour With Against Me! And Polar Bear Club

Bad Religion recently were announced to be on the oddly titled Punk Rock Bowling lineup, but have now added several more tour dates. The entire tour also features Against Me!, hitting with a hard one-two punch of punk. Personally, Bad Religion is the right mix of pop/punk and heavy punk for me: it’s not so […]

Black Sabbath Album Set For June Release

Over the weekend, classic rock and early heavy metal legends Black Sabbath announced that their next album would come out in June.

Sparta Working On Their Fourth Record

Once upon a time, At The Drive In split up into two bands, The Mars Volta and Sparta. The Mars Volta gained a ton of fame, and Sparta gained a little. At The Drive In got back together, and then Sparta stayed quiet. Now Sparta has announced via Instagram that they have begun working on […]

RUMOR: The Postal Service Reunion Happening

The internet can be a great place, because its spontaneous microblogging and, quite frankly, sheer overload of information allows news to happen on the fly and let fans know instantly what the deal is. Unfortunately, it also allows websites to post a sincere lack of information about what’s going on for maximum hits. One BrooklynVegan […]

The Black Keys Entering The Studio For New Album

We’ve already reported that The Black Keys aimed to get another album out by the end of 2013, but now we have something more concrete to share: they are entering the studio this week, aiming to finish by March so that they may release the album before the end of this year. Guitarist and singer […]

Tilian Pearson Focusing On Solo Work Then New Dance Gavin Dance Record

Tilian Pearson, the famed singer who left Tides of Man, is now the vocalist for Dance Gavin Dance and briefly demoed with Saosin, has been working on a solo album for sometime. We’ve heard several songs from the solo effort in the past twelve months from the record – some EDM influenced, some not. Now, […]

WATCH: Queens Of The Stone Age Behind The Scenes Video

Queens of the Stone Age have done a lot of teasing lately, what with the Trent Reznor, Dave Grohl, and Nick Oliveri news. They’ve even sent a strange message to Mojo Magazine recently that was rather cryptic and said nothing concrete except that we should look forward to the new album. Continuing their trend, today […]

STREAM: This Town Needs Guns – “I’ll Take The Minute Snake”

In their own words, math rock band This Town Needs Guns are streaming a new song, “I’ll Take The Minute Snake” as a celebration for everyone surviving the non-apocalypse. The Sargent House band has a new album, 13.0.0.0.0, coming out on January 22. I look forward to it. In regards to line up changes and […]
