Lowe, create music entirely based around a narrative involving a character they’ve named their band after.

Required Listening: Shy Technology’s New EP, ‘Where We Go From Here’

Illinois indie/alt-folk quintet Shy Technology recently premiered their brand new, five-track EP with the fine folks at The Wild Honey Pie.

UTG PHOTOS: Sasquatch! 2015 – Days 1 & 2 in Quincy, WA

Sasquatch, this year, has been interesting to say the least.

The Year of Rediscovery: Corey From’s End of the Year List

This year has been an interesting one for me, as far as music goes. I had an awakening. In one sense, it was weird, because as a late bloomer in the music scene, 2003-2004 were some prime years for me in developing my tastes. So to have artists like Coheed & Cambria, Midtown, blink-182, etc. […]
