Scene & Heard (Week 3) – The Woman

Written by UTG critic Grace Duffy, Scene & Heard takes a look at the music that makes our favorite films so memorable. Whether it’s the 400-piece orchestra Christopher Nolan used for The Dark Knight, or the dozen or so bands that contributed to the soundtrack of Top Gun, there is no denying the impact music […]

Trent Reznor releases score from ‘The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo’

The Oscar-winning duo of Reznor and Atticus Ross, who also scored The Social Network together, have been […]

MOVIE REVIEW: 30 Minutes Or Less

30 Minutes Or Less wants to be the next great dirty comedy, but that isn’t what it is at all. It is funny, in fact very funny (especially Ansari, who outshines everyone), but it also has great elements of action and storytelling that could have been utilized better to keep audiences engaged. “

REVIEW: Black Veil Brides – Set The World On Fire

“All said, Black Veil Brides’ music is abhorrent, and in all respects, I truly dislike the band; their complete lack of musical imagination, their utter dependance on using their image to earn themselves fans, and the shock-value image they depend on. But despite all those inherent flaws that disqualify them as a legitimate band, at least by my standards, they do have a seriously loyal and devoted cult following, and that’s simply because of vocalist “Andy Six”’s exceptionally brilliant marketing tactics, which paid off, especially considering the completely lack of musical depth, and some credit is deserved for that, even if it’s sort of a hollow victory. But that certainly doesn’t excuse the fact that this album is in no way even listenable.”

REVIEW: Blindside – With Shivering Hearts We Wait

“The album isn’t a complete failure, but as I find myself picking out things I don’t like, I found it exponentially harder to pick out things that I did like. I feel bad, I want to like this band, but at the same time, I really just can’t. With Shivering Hearts We Wait simply doesn’t sound like an offering from a band that has had 17 years to hone their sound, and I just can’t ignore that fact.”

Review: Enfold Darkness – Our Cursed Rapture

Artist: Enfold Darkness Album: Our Cursed Rapture Genre: Black/Death Metal Label: Sumerian I had no preconceptions upon my first listen of Enfold Darkness’s debut album Our Cursed Rapture, aside from the fact that Sumerian Records have yet to disappoint me. Based out of Tennessee, Enfold Darkness captures the realms of black metal with elements of […]

REVIEW: Forever The Sickest Kids – The Weekend: Friday

Artist: Forever The Sickest Kids Album: The Weekend: Friday Genre: Pop Label: Universal When a young band like Forever The Sickest Kids takes over a year to release a follow-up record and instead of giving us 13 news tracks, opts instead to begin releasing a series of EPs dedicated to different days of the weekend, […]

REVIEW: Weezer – Raditude

Artist: Weezer Album: Raditude Genre: Rock Label: DGC Few mainstream bands have the staying power of Weezer. Even though each album seems plagued by old-school fans claiming the band has sold out more than ever before, still thousands shell out cash for the music and even more fill arenas for the band’s legendary stage performance. […]

Emery – …In Shallow Seas We Sail

Artist: Emery Album: In Shallow Seas We Sail Genre: Post-Hardcore Label: Tooth and Nail Like many Emery fans, I was turned off by the band’s previous release, I’m Only A Man. So, to put it lightly, I was cautious about hearing their new full length, however I did have some hope thanks to the excellent […]
