REVIEW: Down to Nothing – ‘Life on the James’

Band: Down to Nothing Album: Life on the James Label: Revelation Records Genre: Hardcore Down to Nothing is Richmond, Virginia’s hardcore golden child. Having this much love and popularity as a band comes with certain expectations of quality in new material, especially when the last full record you put out was five years ago (The […]

REVIEW: Sharknado

Film: Sharknado Directed by: Anthony C. Ferrante Studio: SyFy Channel Sharknado.

When the UTG office caught wind of Sharknado’s existence this past […]

AFI REVIEW: Blackfish

REVIEW + STREAM: Kill Lincoln – That’s Cool…In A Totally Negative and Destructive Way

Band: Kill LIncoln Album:  That’s Cool…in a Totally Negative and Destructive Way Label: Jump Start Records Genre: Ska/Pop-Punk Ska is such a dirty word these days.

REVIEW: The Front Bottoms – Talon of the Hawk

Band: The Front Bottoms Album: Talon of the Hawk Genre: Punk/Acoustic Label: Bar/None Records I initially wrote The Front Bottoms off because I thought they were something hipster kids listened to while smoking out in their parents’ suburban basement. I will admit that. I hold really hard preconceptions, and I don’t know why, but that’s […]

REVIEW: Senses Fail – Renancer

Band: Senses Fail Album: Renancer Label: Staple Records Genre: Hardcore I will admit right up front: I was never on the Senses Fail train when I was growing up.
