We haven’t been following most of singer/songwriter Morrissey’s recent shenanigans, from his attempt to turn the Los Angeles Staples Center vegetarian for one night to his ongoing enmity with late night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel. He’s been a busy crank! But this was just too good (and too meme-y) to pass up. Pitchfork is […]

REVIEW: Future Of What – ‘Pro Dreams’
January 13th, 2015 Drew Caruso Artist: Future Of What Album: Pro Dreams Genre: Indie, Electronic Label: Feat.

Meredith Graves (Perfect Pussy) And Kevin Devine To Release 7″ Split Next Year
December 12th, 2014 Kriston McConnell Split EPs are one of my favorite things. It’s a great way for artists to create more music without having to commit to a full album, or even a five or six track EP.

UTG INTERVIEW: Odd Hours
April 25th, 2014 Brian Leak Detroit-based rock quartet Odd Hours dropped a new single back in December with a very popular and powerful title (“Khaleesi”) but even as it may not have entirely been inspired by the “Mother of Dragons” as most would suspect, it still spawned a number of remixes and continues to pave the way to new material […]
REVIEW: Particle Wave – ‘Grand Unifier’
April 14th, 2014 Brian Leak Artist: Particle Wave Album: Grand Unifier Genre: Rock Los Angeles-based garage rock quartet Particle Wave recently released Grand Unifier, their third album since forming in 2006.
