UTG CRUSH: Stream Lana Del Rey’s Leaked Single “Queen Of Disaster”

May 17th, 2013 James Shotwell

Forget about TGIF. Today at UTG HQ we’re screaming T-G-F-L-D-R (Thank God For Lana Del Rey).

Just weeks after she made us weak in the knees with her heartbreaking Great Gatsby contribution “Young And Beautiful,” a new single from Lana Del Rey entitled “Queen Of Disaster” has found it way online. Spoiler alert: It’s fantastic.

Inspired by Summer and the most timeless 60s pop, “Queen Of Disaster” is a dizzying ode to young love and the trouble it finds. Lana’s angelic vocals soar perfectly over a sock hop ready drum beat and swirling strings that are a disco ball shy …

MOVIE REVIEW: Aftershock

May 16th, 2013 James Shotwell

Film: Aftershock
Starring: Eli Roth, Ariel Levy
Directed By: Nicolás López

Disaster movies are one of the trickier subgenres of the horror/thriller realm. On the one hand, audiences go to these films for the experience of world-ending terror (by monsters or mother nature), but at the same time they expect a certain level of relatable storytelling that often lies beyond the reach of the micro-budget filmmakers who churn out these works like clockwork for SyFy originals and the tiny segment of the direct-to-dvd/VOD audience that is always hungry for horror content. Aftershock starts off with all intentions of rising above …

MOVIE REVIEW: Star Trek Into Darkness

May 16th, 2013 James Shotwell

Film: Star Trek Into Darkness
Starring: Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto
Directed by: JJ Abrams

When JJ Abrams first unveiled his vision of Star Trek in 2009, fans and outsiders around the world were taken by surprise. A franchise most assumed had played out its finest years was suddenly new again, and even more importantly (from a business standpoint), people wanted to see more. The end of the film didn’t necessarily warrant the need to continue the story, but one would have to be a fool to think studios don’t leap at cash grab opportunities when they see it. Four years …

Holy Ghost!

Holy Ghost! Debut New Single; Touring with New Order

May 15th, 2013 Mike Sacchetti

If the retirement of LCD Soundsystem has left you wanting more, we here at Under The Gun Review have an excellent replacement. The New York duo, Holy Ghost!, debuted the video for their new single, “Dumb Disco Ideas,” which features an impressive colorful light show upon a New York rooftop. The track times out over 8 minutes, and for a song of this length doesn’t lose the listener’s attention one bit. You can purchase it now digitally, or pre-order the 200-run vinyl pressing.

The track is scheduled to be released on the upcoming album, Dynamics. Coincidentally, Holy Ghost! …

Dodos - Carrier

The Dodos Set to Release New Album; Premiere New Track

May 15th, 2013 Mike Sacchetti

The Dodos have teamed up with Polyvinyl Records to release their new album, Carrier, due out August 27. It’s slated to be the fifth album by the San Francisco natives, and the follow-up to their 2011 release, No Color.

The leader of the band, Meric Long, was deeply affected by the death of Christopher Reimer, who played guitar with the band, but unexpectedly passed away in his sleep early 2012. Long says, “Chris was a huge influence on the way I think about guitar, songwriting, and music in general. Seeing how he could transform and shape sound with …

ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE DARK: The Trailer For ‘Riddick’ Is Finally Here

May 15th, 2013 Justin Proper

It has been nearly a decade since we last heard from Riddick in The Chronicles Of Riddick back in 2004, but the silence is over.

Today a full trailer for the upcoming film, Riddick, hit the internet, and it does not disappoint. Vin Diesel’s sci-fi mercenary that can see in the dark is still on a desolate and dangerous alien world being chased after by bounty hunters. Once again the planet’s hostile environment proves to be too tough for the antagonists and Riddick must save them.

The best news is that unlike the second film Riddick will have an R …

French Montana Recruits The Weeknd For “Gifted”

May 15th, 2013 James Shotwell

Love him or hate him, it’s hard to deny French Montana’s knack for partnering with the biggest names in the industry. He’s the rapping equivalent to DJ Khaled in terms of collaborations, and today’s new single is no different.

Letting Canadian heartthrob The Weeknd take center stage, “Gifted” pairs the Montana and the crooner against a relatively empty beat. The focus is supposed to be on the lyrics, and we could argue for hours over whether or not Montana should think his mic skills deserving of such a spotlight (spoiler: they’re not), but there is no denying the exciting atmosphere …

If you are not familiar with the group’s heartfelt take on the genre, …
