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 […]

Welcome to this week’s edition of Weekly Wax! The most exciting release of the last seven days is one that nobody saw coming. Copeland might have launched a painfully long pre-order for Ixora, but the wait will certainly be worth it, and you can still pick up a copy on black or white vinyl. If […]

Modest Mouse Announce US Tour Dates

Modest Mouse has reemerged, announcing several US tour dates in May. It has been seven long years since the release of Modest Mouse’s most recent full-length, We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank. Signs of relief started popping up last year, though. Rough audio and video started popping up from Modest Mouse sets at various […]

Brand New, Death Cab For Cutie, Modest Mouse Headlining Boston Calling

Last year Boston threw its first big music festival in quite some time — and they saw it pay off. Boston Calling Music Festival put on a two-day festival in May and September, both of which sold out, allowing them to bump their third installment (May 23 – 25, 2014) to three days. Tonight they hid […]

Outkast, The Black Keys, And The Killers Added To Hangout Music Festival Lineup

If you live in the Midwest like me, the last few days have likely been a blur of poor driving conditions, epic snowfall, and generally, crap weather. Luckily, I have just the news to warm your weathered soul—a reunited Outkast has been added to the lineup for this year’s Hangout Music Festival, along with The […]

UTG LIST: 10-Year Album Anniversaries We Want To See Celebrated In 2014

The majority of our staff was in high school a decade back and as 10-year anniversary tours have seemingly become a staple in the genres we held closest to our hearts at the time (and still), we’ve grown to accept this fact and find it only appropriate that we again look back and pinpoint our […]

Cage The Elephant’s ‘Melophobia’ Influenced By Modest Mouse

In a recent interview with Fuse, members of Cage The Elephant revealed that they have Modest Mouse to thank for the band’s newest release, Melophobia.

WATCH: One Hundred Year Ocean Perform Set As Modest Mouse

I wish more bands did things like this for Halloween. Phish is known to “be” other bands for Halloween, putting on what they call “musical costumes” and performing entire sets as a different band. That idea has spread to the New England indie scene, with The World Is A Beautiful Place And I Am No […]
