Have you heard about Palms yet? The quartet, featuring Deftones’ Chino Moreno and three quarters of Isis – drummer Aaron Harris, bassist Jeff Caxide, and guitarist Bryant Clifford Meyer – are releasing their forthcoming self-titled album on June 25 via Ipecac Records.

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 …

REVIEW: EndAnd – ‘Mechanics & Energetics of Stilt-Running’

May 20th, 2013 Brian Lion

New York alternative punk trio EndAnd have crafted an entertaining listening experience in their first official LP, Mechanics & Energetics of Stilt-Running. Just barely breaking 21 minutes in length between its 11 tracks and with styles ranging from fast, angry punk to catchy melodic rock, Mechanics makes for a blur of a journey through a variety of styles that EndAnd is completely in control of.

HOLY SH!T: Kendrick Lamar’s First Mixtape Surfaces Online; Available For Stream & Download

April 15th, 2013 James Shotwell

These days, it’s hard to find anyone even remotely interested in hip hop who hasn’t heard the name Kendrick Lamar, but that wasn’t always the case. Everyone has to start somewhere, and today the world gets to learn more about young Kendrick Lamar.

All props are owed to MaskedGorilla, who earlier today had the pleasure of exclusively posting an otherwise digitally unreleased mixtape recorded by Kendrick Lamar when he was just sixteen-years-old. Titled Hub City Threat, Minor of the Year, Youngest Head Nigga In Charge, the true rap debut of Kendrick Lamar is littered with moments of brilliance …

REVIEW: Fear And Wonder – ‘Beauty Is The Beast’

April 8th, 2013 Kriston McConnell

ARTIST: Fear And Wonder
ALBUM: Beauty Is The Beast
LABEL: None
GENRE: Post Hardcore

When people think of Texas they usually think of cowboys and country music. Lucky for post hardcore/hardcore fans that is not the only genre of music the lone star state produces. There’s a plethora of hardcore, post hardcore and metalcore groups flooding out of the state nowadays, such as Crown The Empire, Memphis May Fire, Upon A Burning Body and many more. Fear And Wonder are an up and coming post hardcore outfit hailing from the Houston area.

Drake Releases “5AM In Toronto” Video

April 2nd, 2013 James Shotwell

Young Money artist Drake has made good on promises from last month and released his official video for the song “5AM In Toronto.”

The clip, which is the second video from Drake to surface in 2013, finds the young MC reciting his lines while hanging out with friends in parking lots and indoor volleyball courts (seriously). When compared to “Started From The Bottom” there is not much to be said other than that this clip feels a bit lazy. It’s less than seven takes in maybe three locations and a song this powerful deserves far better. “Started From The Bottom” …

Queens Of The Stone Age Debut New Song At Lollapalooza Brazil

March 31st, 2013 Grant Trimboli

Happy Easter to everyone out there! Today is truly a special day for many reasons.

Queens Of The Stone Age are reunited and were filmed yesterday debuting a brand new song called “My God is the Sun” out at Lollapalooza Brazil.

This song was performed with new drummer Jon Theodore (The Mars Volta & One Day As A Lion), which is a fantastic way to introduce new material. We understand Theodore has some pretty big shoes to fill but he killed this rendition. Watch after the jump!

“My God is the Sun” is rumored to appear on QOTSA’s forthcoming album, …

UTG PREMIERE: States Away – ‘Like The Weather’ EP

March 27th, 2013 James Shotwell

Are there any feelings or sensations in this world that can compare to what comes over you the first time your heart connects with a new band? That initial spark of love that is just as profound as romantic entanglement, but far less messy in the long run. If such a thing exists we know nothing of it, but we are certain a good portion of you will experience that aforementioned moment of emotional avalanche after hearing the latest effort from Ohio’s States Away.

If you recall, the last time we featured States Away they were a baby band …

The New ‘World War Z’ Trailer Is The Perfect Way To Start Your Week

March 25th, 2013 James Shotwell

Though there seems to be a significantly smaller amount of familiar characters at the box office this Summer, there will certainly still be a number of gigantic tentpole efforts released in hopes of carrying a major studio through the slower months ahead. Of all those films planned for Summer 2013, the one whose quality remains in question is none other than the book adaptation of World War Z. A new trailer arrived online today and, for once, I think it’s safe to say something truly epic is on the way.

Unless you have spent the better part of the …

STREAM: At Night We Strike (ex-Dead Poetic, Oh, Sleeper) – “Your Own Skin”

March 17th, 2013 Adrian Garza

Back in late January, news came out that spoke of Lucas Starr teaming up with drummer Ryan Sprague and vocalist Brandon Rike for a new side project, now it looks like we’ve just gotten a fresh taste of it with their first song, “Your Own Skin”.

The two of the musicians have a good track record behind them. Starr used to play bass for Oh, Sleeper, a Texas-based Christian metalcore band tootup until he had left the band on the best of terms in 2011, and Rike had been the vocalist of Dead Poetic, a no longer active …
