WATCH: Frank Turner – “All My Life” (Foo Fighters Cover)

Everybody’s got a soft spot for Dave Grohl. Yesterday, BBC Radio 1 posted a video performance Frank Turner did in which he covered the Foo Fighters‘ “All My Life,” and Frank hits a home run. It’s an acoustic performance with his full band, and the harmonies are nailed. This is one of many other Frank Turner live videos we’ve seen in the publicity since Tape Deck Heart came out, but the song selection makes this one stand out a bit.

Frank Turner is currently on a massive world tour in which he has dates left in the United States,  …

Modest Mouse

WATCH: One Hundred Year Ocean Perform Set As Modest Mouse

I wish more bands did things like this for Halloween. Phish is known to “be” other bands for Halloween, putting on what they call “musical costumes” and performing entire sets as a different band. That idea has spread to the New England indie scene, with The World Is A Beautiful Place And I Am No Longer Afraid To Die side-project One Hundred Year Ocean having performed as Modest Mouse back on Halloween in 2011. Video from that performance has surfaced online, and it’s a great watch.

One Hundred Year Ocean will have an EP release coming out later this summer …

Under The Gun sent Head of Photography, Kellie Gannon, to Blossom Music Center in Cuyahoga Falls, OH for Dave Matthews Band on June 1, 2013.

Huge outdoor venues are quite the way to kick off what will prove to be an amazing summer of music. Dave Matthews Band recently brought their legendary talent to the stage at Blossom Music Center in Cuyahoga Falls for a night of entertainment and all things DMB. If you have yet to make it to a Dave Matthews show, you’re in for an overall experience because it isn’t just about the music; it’s about the …

Belle Mare TWHP

WATCH: Belle Mare’s Buzzsession at The Wild Honey Pie

If you happen to recall our recent interview with Brooklyn’s Belle Mare, you’ll know that they’re a duo we’ve been keeping wide eyes on as of late. Their The Boat Of The Fragile Mind EP has been in constant rotation here and we’re excited for every bit of much deserved exposure they get.

Recently, Belle Mare partnered up with The Wild Honey Pie to perform arresting renditions of “All This Time” and “The City” from their aforementioned EP for an exclusive Buzzsession. The duo have a backing band this time to add even more depth to their beautiful and …

UTG PHOTOS: ALKALINE TRIO (5/28/13)

Under The Gun sent Head of Photography, Kellie Gannon, to House of Blues Cleveland for Alkaline Trio on May 28, 2013.

I was excited at the prospect of an Alkaline Trio tour for a few reasons. I love that bands like Bayside and Alkaline Trio are not only still touring and playing music, but releasing killer new albums and selling out venues in the process. These bands remind me of my high school days, which hold sweet memories of bands such as these, up close and personal shows at intimate venues, and blasting anything related to rock. Both Alkaline …

UTG PHOTOS: Skate & Surf Day Two (5/19/13)

Under The Gun sent photographer, Corbin Alvae, to New Jersey for Skate & Surf Festival at Six Flags Great Adventure.

Day Two…Once again, what a line-up! This time around I don’t have a funny story (sad, I know) but it did do one thing…RAIN! Like Day One, it was on and off, but wasn’t too bad. Anyways! I kicked Day Two off with Ohio metal band, Dangerkids. Holy shit! I heard some buzz about them, ended up checking out their music online, really impressed! …

Charlotte, North Carolina indie-rock outfit, Sugar Glyder, was recently filmed by ATX Live at their show in Philly performing “Lost In The Woods.”

UTG PHOTOS: Skate & Surf Day One (5/18/13)

Under The Gun sent photographer, Corbin Alvae, to New Jersey for Skate & Surf Festival at Six Flags Great Adventure.

Skate And Surf Festival: DAY ONE. Where to start?! First off, before I get into my Day One coverage, here’s a quick little story:

When I decided that I was interested in covering the festival, which was about 2 months prior to the actual date, I was beyond excited to travel to New Jersey, for one reason: WARM WEATHER. Michigan weather is on and off and for me — that usually never goes too well, and frankly, it grinds my …

Twenty One Pilots

UTG PHOTOS: Twenty One Pilots & New Politics (4/26/13)

Under The Gun’s photographer, Tori Thomas attended the Twenty One Pilots show featuring New Politics and Five Knives at the LC Pavilion in Columbus, OH on April 26, 2013.

I arrived to this show expecting nothing but surprises, especially with this being a hometown show for Twenty One Pilots. First in the lineup was Five Knives, however I was unable to make it in time to see their set. Judging from a previous show I saw them at opening for TOP, I’m sure they set the mood for the evening with a flawless performance.

Next up was New Politics

The-Flaming-Lips

WATCH: The Flaming Lips Perform on Fallon

The Flaming Lips made an appearance on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon last night.

The band performed “Try To Explain” from their 2013 release, The Terror, as well as their rendition of David Bowie’s “Heroes.”

According to Pitchfork, Wayne Coyne’s performance rendered him “almost-nude, his modesty concealed by an array of glowing tentacular wires.” Later in the night, Coyne found himself fully clothed playing Pictionary with Fallon, Demi Lovato and Julie Bowen.

Pick up The Terror on iTunes and watch the performance as well as Pictionary antics over at Pitchfork.com.…
