UTG PREMIERE: Before The Streetlights – “Private Browser”

Recent Antique Records signees Before The Streetlights recently asked us to lend them a hand in premiering a track from the upcoming label debut. We didn’t know at the time that the band planned to drop the track in question on Thanksgiving, but once we became aware of their goals we leapt at the chance […]

UTG PREMIERE: Monterrey – ‘I’m To Blame’ EP

Indiana emotional hardcore-punk band Monterrey have an undeniable appeal and potential, evident on their brand new EP, I’m To Blame, streaming exclusively at UTG today.

It’s […]

UTG PREMIERE: Come Wind – “Found” (Lyric Video)

Friday is here, and while we are sure there are several new albums calling for your attention we must beg of you to hold off just a bit longer on enjoying those releases. Why? Because we have something so good to share that you would only be doing yourself a disservice by clicking off UTG […]

Indie/spoken word duo Pettigrew are bound to make you feel something; if not the passion seeping from each of their distinctive creations, then at least the relatable nature of their lyrics in both song and prose.

UTG PREMIERE: Charles Ellsworth – “A Packed Suitcase”

There is something about melancholy music that pairs with fall like pumpkin spice lattes or hoodies, only with more of an emotional connection. It’s not that we believe people love being sad when they see leaves change colors, but something about the transformation happening in nature does lead many to reflect on their own lives. […]

UTG PREMIERE: Barbacoa – ‘The Carmel EP’

We’re so excited to introduce you all to the indie rock duo, Barbacoa.

UTG PREMIERE: Hope Vista – “Dominance”

Creating a blend of 90s pop classics and Joan Jett, Hope Vista brings an alt-rock flare, with (in her own words) a splash of “popgrungehurricane.” Be prepared for some mega sass in her forthcoming single (out today), “Dominance,” which can be streamed exclusively right here on Under The Gun Review. Hope is an Avril Lavigne-loving, […]
