MOVIE REVIEW: The Hangover Part III

May 23rd, 2013 James Shotwell

Film: The Hangover: Part III
Starring: Zach Galifianakis, Ken Jeong
Directed by: Todd Phillips

I would be lying if I said I left The Hangover: Part II with any desire to continue following the adventures of the Wolf Pack. The 2009 original had come out of nowhere to shock and amaze audiences worldwide, but the sequel and it’s thinly veiled redo of the original’s plot in a new locale simply did not work. The jokes were lazy, the crude humor felt forced, and it seemed no one could get over the feeling that it was all too familiar. In spite …

The Early November 2012

MUSIC VIDEO: The Early November – “Tell Me Why”

May 22nd, 2013 Mike Sacchetti

The Early November are buzzworthy. The band has teamed up with MTV’s Buzzworthy Blog to premiere the video for the track, “Tell Me Why,” from their 2012 album, In Currents. Having featured their single and title track, “In Currents,” on the MTV blog in October 2012, this marks the second time the band has been deemed buzzworthy within the past 12 months. Not too bad for a band coming off a hiatus.

MTV asked guitarist/keyboardist, Joe Marro, about working with director Trevor Bowman and how he interoperates the video’s final product,

“We’ve been working with Trevor Bowman for the past

Riot Fest Unveils Two New Cities; Partners With Absolutevoices for VIP Contest

May 22nd, 2013 James Shotwell

Last week the internet lost its mind when Riot Fest announced an amazing lineup for the annual Chicago music event. Today two additional cities were announced as playing host to Riot Fests of their own, and this time UTG is getting in on the action.

Riot Fest will also be hitting Toronto (Aug 24-Aug 25) and Denver (Sept 21-Sept 22) this year, with lineups that will be unveiled in the weeks ahead. If Chicago was any sign of what we can expect in these cities, you may want to start planning your roadtrips now. Tickets for both events will go …

Hatebreed Prove “Honor Never Dies” With Brutal New Video

May 22nd, 2013 James Shotwell

Hatebreed promoted their new album The Divinity Of Purpose as being a return to their ‘all pit, no shit’ sound. This lead us to a feverish excitement for the album’s release, and in the review that followed critic Jordan Munson confirmed this promise, commenting “The fact of the matter is that The Divinity of Purpose is a very solid record, and true to form for Hatebreed.” The band has now released a video for the album’s latest single, and once again they prove they’re the best at modern hardcore.

“Honor Never Dies” is the kind of song that goes straight …

Maroon 5 Get Painted For “Love Somebody” Video

May 22nd, 2013 James Shotwell

Maroon 5′s signature brand of dance-laden pop rock is not exactly rocket science. The band found a sound that worked well early in their career and have stuck with it. There is nothing inherently wrong with that, but sometimes it does make them a bit predictable. Their latest video, however, is another story altogether.

When it was premiered on The Voice earlier this week, “Love Somebody” struck me as just another Maroon 5 jam about a topic all their songs seem to be about (l-o-v-e). It was an acceptable entry into the current pop charts, but nothing out of the …

EDITORIAL: DMX’s ‘It’s Dark And Hell Is Hot’ Turns 15

May 21st, 2013 James Shotwell

We talk a lot about nostalgia, but rarely when it comes to the world of hip hop. Aside from our features on Lord Willin and Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” we have been admittedly lacking in our celebration of legendary releases in hip hop. This morning, however, a headline hit me in the face with all the power the reminder of how old you are possibly can. I knew right away I needed to write something, even if it were only a few lines, because this album was something special to me (even if I was 11 when it came out). Today …

Full-Length Trailer For ‘The Wolverine’ Offers Plenty Of Plot

May 21st, 2013 James Shotwell

Is it just me, or is it starting to feel like Man Of Steel and The Wolverine are never going to come out? Their marketing campaigns have lasted months, offered minutes of footage and dozens of images, yet we still have weeks (or more) to go before release. Don’t get me wrong, I love geeking out over comic movies as much as the next person, but cut the tease and get to the meat already.

This morning, a new trailer for The Wolverine found its way online. Unlike previous trailers, this one feels less spoiler-tastic due to its focus on …

Chief Keef Arrested In Georgia

May 21st, 2013 James Shotwell

Seventeen-year-old rapper Chief Keef continues to find himself tangled in legal troubles this morning as news of yet another arrest has begun surfacing online.

According to an article on TMZ, Keef was taken into custody while in DeKalb County, Georgia yesterday on charges of “disorderly conduct.” The events leading up to police involvement remain unclear, but Keef was allowed to leave last night (presumably after paying a small fine). After he was free, Keef tweeted “Jus Got Out Of Dekalb County jail In Atlanta Mad As fuck.”

This isn’t the first time Keef has had a run in with …

SINGLE REVIEW: Sleeping With Sirens Ft. Machine Gun Kelly – “Alone”

May 21st, 2013 James Shotwell

Artist: Sleeping With Sirens
Track: “Alone”
Album: Feel

After months of teasing, Sleeping With Sirens took to YouTube last night to release their collaborative effort with rapper Machine Gun Kelly.

Taken from Sleeping With Sirens’ forthcoming June release, Feel, “Alone” kicks off with high-gloss production and an onslaught of whoa-ohs to entice listeners both at home and in a future live setting. This gives way to a more atmospheric verse that builds into a thunderous chorus, which carries a sound that falls perfectly in line with everything the band has released up to this point, but it is what …

Betty Who Releases “You’re In Love” Video

May 20th, 2013 James Shotwell

UTG’s latest pop music crush is back in our headlines with release of yet another stunning music video.

Marking her second single of 2013, Betty Who released the official video for “You’re In Love” earlier today, May 20. The video, which features imagery that will be familiar to those who’ve seen Betty’s press photos, was shot in and around New York City. The story of the clip follows a relationship Betty is in with a rather dapper looking gentleman, which of course is spliced between shots of a near-giddy Betty lip syncing along with her 80s-drenched ballad. You can view …
