UTG TV: Trolled By Kelen Of The Story So Far At Warped 2014

Vans Warped Tour is filled with loud music, sweaty people and many shenanigans. During our interview circuit, UTG TV caught up with Kelen Capener from The Story So Far to partake in some of those shenanigans. I’ve conducted many interviews. Some are enlightening, boring, or emotional; this one, was just plain ridiculous. Whether it was […]

UTG TV: Warped 2014 With Hunter Valentine

Hunter Valentine has been a band for quite some time now, but it seems that 2014 may be the year the band becomes a household name. At first glance, yes, many would automatically characterize them into the lame category of “all-girl rock band,” but based off of meeting them once, I could immediately tell they […]

UTG TV: Warped 2014 With Neck Deep

Neck Deep is one of the fastest growing pop-punk bands we’ve seen in a while. Want evidence of that? In our interview with the band, Ben and Fil told us how they’d be super starstruck by one man and one man only: Mark Hoppus of blink-182. Four days later, they announced that they’d be opening […]

UTG TV: Warped 2014 With Crown The Empire

The monster that is Crown The Empire has evolved enormously since the last time the band played Warped Tour. The theatrical rockers’ new record The Resistance: Rise Of The Runaways is available now and has been met with much praise. The band makes for a truly unique member of the Rise Records roster, which they […]

UTG TV: Warped 2014 With Bowling For Soup

“In 1995, I took a semester off from college to give this whole band thing a go. And I’m still on that semester off of college.” The 2014 Vans Warped Tour features a lot of new talent, but there is nothing wrong with getting nostalgic and kicking it with the bands that have been around […]

UTG TV: Warped 2014 With Nick Santino

Earlier this year, UTG TV was able to sit down with Nick Santino and This Century on a frigid New York night. Fortunately, we were able to catch up and reconnect with Santino at Warped Tour in Wantagh, NY. Thankfully, this time it was a beautiful sunny day by the beach. Back in May, Nick […]

UTG TV: ETID Meets CYE At Warped 2014

We here at Under The Gun Review like to consider ourselves family. For us, it’s important to keep in mind that the music community is in fact a community. At events like Warped Tour, you get to meet a lot of new people. UTG TV was able to bring together Close Your Eyes and Every […]

UTG TV: Warped 2014 With Yellowcard

“I hope that somewhere, whoever is sitting in an office, looking at the internet and counting his money, that he decides that this is a good year for a new Yellowcard record.” It’s hard to believe that Yellowcard released their classic record Ocean Avenue a decade ago. I’ll spare you the redundant “list-blog” type of […]

THE HUDSON PROJECT: Bro Safari On Growing Up Punk And Performing Drunk

“Growing up, personally I was a full on punk kid; the leather jacket, the boots, bracelets and everything. The first band I ever listened to, period, was the Dead Kennedys.” If you’re a fan of trappy, bass-driven hip-hop and electronic music, chances are good that you’ve heard of Bro Safari. If you’re fortunate, you’ve been […]

THE HUDSON PROJECT: Savoy On Lasers, Biggie Smalls And New Tunes

Savoy isn’t a typical electronic group. The trio resides in Brooklyn, NY, although a piece of the group will always live in Colorado. When the DJ duo and drummer took stage at The Hudson Project in Saugerties, NY, the vibe was slow and steady. By the time the set was underway, the mud-filled tent was […]

THE HUDSON PROJECT: Holy Ghost! Reflect On Their “Talking Heads Moment” On Letterman

Holy Ghost! are a brand of their own. Their unique blend of indie, funk, and electronic vibes combine for a sound that makes you want to dance and relax at the same time. You may be unsure of what you’re exactly listening to, but you’re a-okay with that. If you’ve listened to their 2013 release […]

THE HUDSON PROJECT: Atmosphere’s Slug On Success, His “Dante’s Inferno” and Hip-Hop’s Lifespan

“I don’t know how we got to where we got, but I’m not complaining. I’m happy that we are where we are and I’m not greedy about where we’re trying to go.” Atmosphere have been making music for over two decades. The guys run their own festival, maintain family lives, and still keep it real. […]
