Sorority Noise Share ‘Rick And Morty’ Cover Song

We don’t talk about television much on UTG, but I can safely speak for everyone on staff when I say we absolutely adore Rick And Morty. 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. […]

UTG PREMIERE: Vegas Lights – “Drag Me Down” (One Direction Cover)

PVRIS Covering Tove Lo Is As Exciting As Christmas Morning

BBC Radio One has given the world many wonderful music moments during its long-heralded existence, but I don’t know if any one segment has more frequently provided quality shareable content than the station’s ongoing efforts to capture unique in-studio performances. Everyone, and I mean everyone in pop music today has at least been asked to […]

Traditions Cover Taking Back Sunday’s “Set Phasers To Stun”

Prepare to be impressed. If you want to grab headlines without having anything new of your own to share, the one surefire way to get clicks is by covering a song far more popular than anything in your current catalog. This isn’t a new concept by any means, but rather one used by artists for […]

Scottish indie-pop group Chvrches have become known for their popular covers, so when they had the chance to perform on BBC Live Lounge, they shared their own rendition of Justin Timberlake‘s 2002 hit “Cry Me A River.” The band’s strong synth influence is heavy on this groovy cover song, shining spotlight on vocalist Lauren Mayberry’s […]

Watch Charli XCX’s Punk Cover of Taylor Swift’s “Shake It Off”

Britain’s pop-meets-punk singer-songwriter Charli XCX put out her excellent sophomore LP Sucker last year to applauding reviews. While she’s busy supporting that album, Charli XCX took some time to stop by the BBC’s Live Lounge to perform a cover of Taylor Swift‘s “Shake It Off.” Considering the two are friends, it shouldn’t come as a surprise. And given […]

Both Concepts And Born Victims Cover Maroon 5’s “Animals”

Cover songs have long been a surefire way to grab extra attention from the press while working hard on creating original material. Whether you’re the biggest artist in the world or someone still trying to get the word out about their work, a solid cover will go a long way to further cementing your presence […]

UTG Premiere: Wormburner – “Holland, 1945” (Neutral Milk Hotel Cover)

As far as influential indie bands are concerned, Neutral Milk Hotel are often compared to any deity people view as untouchable. It’s as if their music is considered so great that the sheer thought of someone wanting to make it their own becomes sickening. This idea has never made sense to us at UTG, as […]

Stream Aretha Franklin’s Cover Of “Rolling In The Deep”

No, that headline is not a lie. The greatest living diva is gearing up to release a new album of covers, and earlier today her take on one relatively young diva’s modern classic debuted online. Few artists have the ability to instill a sense of excitement and fun in your average music fan quite like […]

5 Seconds Of Summer Cover Eminem In Detroit (Video)

Fast-rising pop rock band 5 Seconds Of Summer have spent the past several weeks touring North America as the opening act on the latest leg of One Direction‘s world tour.

The Killers Cover Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy” At V Festival (Video)

The Killers may not have put out as much music in the last year as most fans would have liked, but that is not stopping Las Vegas’ best export from livening up their recent festival appearances with a series of unexpected performances. This past weekend, The Killers were appearing in the UK at V Festival […]

The Civil Wars Officially Break Up

I have one word for this story: Dammit. After nearly five years together, The Civil Wars have announced that they are officially calling it quits. The duo, as you may well know, had been on indefinite hiatus since 2012, but this morning they made it known that there is apparently no hope left for reconciliation. […]
