Side One Dummy punk group PUP have partnered with our friends at The A.V. Club to premiere their new video for “Guilt Trip.” Featuring a story of youthful rebellion and the bonds of brotherhood it can create, the official clip for “Guilt Trip” shares a relatively dark tale in place of a traditional performance clip.

REVIEW: PUP – ‘PUP’
April 7th, 2014 
Dan Bogosian Artist: PUP Album: PUP Genres: Punk Rock, Alternative Rock Label: SideOneDummy It’s hard to contextualize a band on their debut album. A genre listing could mean so many things. What does punk mean, especially if they are going pop? Does it mean pop-punk in today’s sense of The Wonder Years and State Champs? Does it […]
PUP Share Music Video For “Lionheart”
March 31st, 2014 Brian Leak As someone that has only recently discovered the Canadian indie-punk quartet known as PUP, I was unfortunately late to the game on watching their riotous video for “Reservoir” that debuted last Fall. In the past week or two, I’ve watched that video and streamed their SideOneDummy debut LP countless times in anticipation for the official […]

March 31st, 2014 Troy Sennett Toronto, Canada’s PUP are set to release their debut record next Tuesday, April 8, but you won’t have to wait until then to hear it.

UTG INTERVIEW: PUP @ SXSW
March 28th, 2014 Matthew Leimkuehler PUP is a potent Canadian punk-rock band poised with a swagger subtly malevolent enough to simultaneously steal your heart and give you a hard punch in the gut. The self-titled debut LP, due out on SideOneDummy Records April 8, is a unique and satisfying listen. Songs like “Reservoir” and “Guilt Trip” are abrasive, engaging and […]
Music Video: Against Me!’s “Black Me Out” Features Vulgar Shadow Puppets
March 17th, 2014 Kevin Blumeyer I’ve seen “Black Me Out” as the album’s standout track ever since my first spin through Against Me!‘s Transgender Dysphoria Blues, but given the song’s lyrics and subject matter, I figured it would never get the proper single treatment. Well, I suppose I’ve been proven both right and wrong today, as the band has released […]
Haken Use Puppets For “Cockroach King” Video, Metal Fans Can’t Stop Smiling
September 16th, 2013 Brian Leak After watching this video four times in the past 25 minutes I can safely say that it’s one of the best music videos released in quite awhile, especially in the metal genre. London’s progressive metal outfit, Haken, just unveiled the visuals for their single, “Cockroach King,” featured on their newest album, The Mountain, which just […]
REVIEW: Sick Puppies – Connect
July 26th, 2013 Grace Duffy Artist: Sick Puppies Album: Connect Genre: Rock Label: Capitol Slightly conflicted, uneven at times, but appealing, Australian trio Sick Puppies’ fourth album Connect seems to find itself caught between two competing desires. It is for the most part chart-flavoured, with straightforward structuring, engaging choruses, and quick running times but there’s a distinctly darker undertone that […]
PupFresh Retracts Ronnie Radke Accusations
June 2nd, 2013 James Shotwell Before we dig into this story, I feel the last few days have seen a lot of things being said about bloggers without giving us a chance to defend ourselves. UTG has never and will never cover Ronnie Radke simply because we think hating him is somehow “cool.” We write about Ronnie Radke because people […]

January 17th, 2013 Dan Bogosian UPDATE: After seeing our post, cEvin posted on his personal Facebook page saying “Danny and I have stuff going, but we’ll have to hope that John drops by one day ! <3 nice thought, as it would be cool.” We’ve been waiting on a new Tool album for far too long – quite literally, their […]
