REQUIRED LISTENING: Ovlov – “The Great Crocodile”

Back in April, we got word that CT-based band Ovlov and Philly crew Little Big League were putting out a split 7″ together on Tiny Engines.

‘Kill The Messenger’ Trailer: Jeremy Renner Leads Oscar Contender

Based on a true story, Kill The Messenger stars Jeremy Renner as journalist Gary Webb, who exposes the CIA’s role in importing cocaine into the U.S. and arming Contra rebels fighting in Nicaragua.

UTG INTERVIEW: Hidden In Plain View At Skate And Surf

While I was walking around Skate and Surf Festival in Asbury Park, New Jersey last weekend, I noticed how much older the crowd was than it had been in past years. The hotly-anticipated reunions of Midtown and Saosin with Anthony Green stole the show, but they weren’t the only reunions that drew in a nostalgic fan base. New […]
