Manchester Orchestra Extend Tour to UK With Kevin Devine and Bad Books

Time is winding down on Manchester Orchestra‘s US tour in support of their near-perfect new album, Cope. That doesn’t mean they’re going to stop playing, though. The band will be heading overseas to play a series of shows in the UK in the fall with Kevin Devine & the Goddamn Band and Bad Books opening. Manchester […]

MUSIC VIDEO: Angel Olsen – “High & Wild”

Country folk indie singer-songwriter Angel Olsen dropped her newest album, the near-perfect Burn Your Fire For No Witness, back in February. She rolled out a new music video today, though, for single “High & Wild,” giving us the perfect excuse to revisit the record. The song will be officially released as a single in June. “High & […]

UTG TV: Little Barrie Speak On ‘Shadow’

Last Thursday UTG TV headed into New York City to meet up with our friends in Little Barrie at Santos Party House. Fortunately, we were able to catch them just before they headed to Europe for a UK tour followed by dates in Germany, France, and the Netherlands. For those who are not familiar with […]

Stream Klaxons’ New Single “Show Me A Miracle”

By now it’s known that British indie rockers Klaxons are returning to the music front but with a very different sound. Instead of their usual dance-able indie rock, they’ve picked up some new smooth R&B cues and disco thumping. Their new single, “Show Me a Miracle,” follows in that direction. The band will be putting […]

GOD SAVE SLIM SHADY: Eminem Announces Show At Wembley Stadium In London

Are you British? Do you love Eminem? Then you’re in luck. Unfortunately, I’m in New York, so I doubt I’ll be making this specific show. About a half hour ago (in true Sex Pistols’ fashion), the “Rap God” announced a one-off date in London on July 11 at Wembley Stadium via his Instragram account, as […]

Watch Brand New Cover Coldplay and Modest Mouse

Brand New have done their fair share of covers over time, often showing a lot of love for Neutral Milk Hotel way back when. A few days ago, though, the band played a show at the London Troxy and mixed up “The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot” with a little bit of Coldplay and […]

Listen To Nai Harvest’s “Rush”

Nai Harvest have released a new track from their upcoming 7″, Hold Open My Head. The track, “Rush,” is a smooth indie adventure featuring wonderful vocals, fuzzy guitars, and swooning melodies. Fans of bands spanning from My Bloody Valentine, anything by the Kinsella family, You Blew It!, and many others, will feel right at home […]

Slowdive Hinting Towards A Reunion

Slowdive was a wonderful band. From Reading, England, the quintet dominated the shoegaze scene in the early nineties. Releasing one of my personal favorite albums, Souvlaki, the band has certainly earned their mark in history. Fortunately, after being inactive for nearly twenty years, it seems that there is hope on the horizon for some form […]

UTG TV: Warped With ITCH

London rapper Jonny Fox may have been well known in the band The King Blues, but this summer he’s hitting Warped Tour as an established rapper, going under the moniker of Itch. His newest single “Homeless Romantic” features Taking Back Sunday vocalist Adam Lazzara and works hard to transcend boundaries not only between England and […]
