EXCLUSIVE STREAM: Over & Out – Plastic City EP

November 20th, 2012 James Shotwell

A few weeks ago we talked to you about one of our new favorite hardcore bands from DC, Over & Out. Well today we are excited to announce that we are hosting their new EP Plastic City! The seven track album clocks in at a break neck 14 minutes, and it’s a really aggressive effort that here at UTG we’re really excited about.

EXCLUSIVE STREAM: The Deep North

Boston has been a hub for new music much longer than UTG has been a site, and to this day it continues to surprise us with new acts and sounds that are embraced (and copied) worldwide. With that in mind, we could not be more excited to bring you an exclusive stream of the debut release from one of Boston’s newest breakout acts, The Deep North.

REVIEW: The Manchurian Incident – Hungry Hungry Hippocampus

November 7th, 2012 Josh Hammond

Artist: The Manchurian Incident
Album: Hungry Hungry Hippocampus
Genre: Post-Hardcore

Sometimes it’s hard to remember that a review isn’t about personal preference. It isn’t CD shopping at Target, where one can gravitate towards the genre selection of choice. Without fail, there are always going to be bands that fall in the lap of the music reviewer that he wouldn’t generally listen to.

The percentages are fairly good that I would have never listened to The Manchurian Incident without being prompted to do so. In fact, I usually would avoid writing a review from a genre like this. When you listen …

The Monsters I've met

UTG EP PREMIERE: The Monsters I’ve Met – ‘Lights Out!’

October 30th, 2012 James Shotwell

Michigan post-hardcore newcomers The Monsters I’ve Met, which features former members of Famous Last Words (InVogue Records), are releasing their new album, Lights Out!, on October 31. Being from the mitten state ourselves, UTG could not pass up the opportunity to premiere the album ahead of its release date.

Say what you will about the fusion of electronica and post-hardcore, but it’s clear from the response of listeners worldwide that it’s a niche that is here to stay. The Monsters I’ve Met are amongst the few acts that have found a way to stand apart in a scene flooded …

STREAM: Thick Skin – Demo

October 4th, 2012 Tyler Osborne

Here at UTG we cover a lot of types of music, a majority of which is already either somewhat popular or in the public eye. I personally love finding bands that nobody knows, because frankly I feel ahead of the curve once they strike it big. Now I’m from DC, and one of the greatest pleasures of living in such an interesting (and sometimes weird) city is that I get to see and meet tons of bands that have such a variety of tastes. I’d like to introduce you to one of your new favorite hardcore bands from the District …

REVIEW: G-Eazy – Must Be Nice

September 26th, 2012 James Shotwell

Artist: G-Eazy
Album: Must Be Nice
Genre: Hip Hop

Having risen from nothing to something over the course of a few independent releases, G-Eazy is poised to become hip hop next big thing with the release of his latest album, Must Be Nice. Hitting online outlets today, Must Be Nice marks a clear evolution in Eazy’s style and delivery, with plenty of experimentation along the way. The stoned fellow we found dealing with heartbreak and planning big things on Endless Summer has now seen (even more of) the world and found himself somewhere amongst the chaos and success littered …

August 27th, 2012 James Shotwell

Of all the up and coming bands we have written about over the past few years, few have received the level of admiration and support our readers have shown Rhode Island’s Sideshow. Since first appearing on UTG over a year ago, this hard rock act has taken several bold steps forward in the career, playing to thousands and working harder than even in the studio, and it has all lead up to today. Now, for the first time anywhere, fans and newcomers can experience Sideshow’s latest EP, [Intra] through a co-album premiere on UTG and PropertyOfZack. We have …
