REVIEW: Feed Her To The Sharks – Savage Seas

May 14th, 2013 James Shotwell

Artist: Feed Her To The Sharks
Album: Savage Seas
Genre: Melodic Metalcore

In the three years that have passed since their formation, Melbourne’s Feed Her To The Sharks have gone from Australian sensations to rising international stars whose popularity shows no signs of slowing. Their pulverizing take on modern melodic metalcore has helped them quickly garner praise worldwide, thanks no doubt to the viral success of their debut, The Beauty Of Falling, and now the group take another bold step forward in their career with the release of Savage Seas.

When we last heard from Feed Her To …

TUBULAR: UTG Has a Pop Music Crush on Betty Who

April 22nd, 2013 James Shotwell

The term “throwback sound” is thrown around a lot these days, and more often than not it is used to refer to the big band and/or soul pop era of music. While we will always welcome artists new and old pushing that sound, this young talent with an old school sound is channeling a much different era: The 80s.

Hailing from Australia, Betty Who is a twenty-something pop songstress with enough blog buzz to be considered (at least) Tumblr famous. Her short blonde hair and seemingly endless abundance of joyful personality burst from every second of her debut EP, The …

Drummer Dave Lombardo Removed From Slayer’s Australian Tour

February 21st, 2013 Dayton O'Connor

This is straight up crazy town.

It appears that thrash metal icons Slayer have forced longtime drummer Dave Lombardo out of the band, at least for the remainder of their Australian tour.

“I want to personally apologize to all of our fans in Australia who have bought tickets for the tour expecting to see me in my usual place on the drums,” began a statement from Lombardo on his Facebook page. It’s a lengthy post, but the long and the short of Lombardo’s dismissal appears to boil down to a singular issue: money.

Capture The Crown Announce Debut Album; Launch Pre-Orders

November 24th, 2012 James Shotwell

Australian metalcore act Capture The Crown have been building an online following over the course of the last year demands respect. Following the release of their debut single and video, “You Call This A Knife? This Is A Knife,” the newly launched band began gaining social network followers in droves. To date the group has barely played any shows, never signed to a label, been overlooked by 90% of music news sites, and still somehow managed to garner 90,000 Likes on Facebook. Say what you will about their at-times generic take on a familiar heavy alternative music concept, but …

MUSIC VIDEO: Jack The Stripper – “Grinning Death”

November 13th, 2012 James Shotwell

Australia’s Jack The Stripper have released the official music video for their new single, “Grinning Death.” The song hails from the group’s forthcoming Raw Nerve LP and packs one hell of a metal punch. I have to be honest here and admit to not being familiar with the group prior to this week, but I am already sold on picking up their new record when it arrives sometime in the near future. You can view their video for “Grinning Death” after the jump.

UTG is always looking for new groups to feature on our site. If you think your band, …
