MUSIC VIDEO: We Came As Romans – “Glad You Came”

The best song cover on Punk Goes Pop 5 has become the first to be given the music video treatment. We Came As Romans took on The Wanted’s hit “Glad You Came” for the recently released Fearless Records compilation and the results are undeniably good. Unlike bands who try to hard to bring their cover […]

Heroes And Underdogs Premiere “The Trap”

New York’s Heroes And Underdogs could quite possibly be the next big band to breakout of the current pop rock underground. Their debut EP, That’s My Name, Don’t Wear It Out, was on repeat in the UTG offices for weeks, and this morning everyone can join us in hearing the premiere of the new song, […]

MOVIE REVIEW: Chasing Ice

Film: Chasing Ice Director: Jeff Orlowski Last week I went to a screening of the environmental documentary, Chasing Ice.

Omar Rodriguez Confirms The Mars Volta Are On “Indefinite” Hiatus

Dammit. I guess all good things must come to an end, but this one caught me off guard. The Mars Volta have been extremely quiet for the majority of 2012, which should make today’s news a little more expected (but we know it still sucks). In a recent interview with CityArtsOnline, Omar Rodriguez confirmed that […]

LIVE REVIEW: The Bryan Stars Tour Ft. Rocky Loves Emily + Late Night Reading – Orlando, FL 11/3/2012

It’s very relieving to shake up your regular cycle of mostly going to (pop) punk/hardcore/metal shows by heading out to a pop rock show. With that mindset, I made my way out to the Orlando, FL stop of The Bryan Stars Tour to see a four-piece lineup that consisted of Catching Your Clouds, Farewell, My […]
