Katy Perry Pokes Fun At “Hate Being Sober”; Chief Keef Replies With Threat

I’m starting to lose count of the number of times I’ve had to write about Chicago rapper Chief Keef getting himself into trouble for things that have very little to do with him releasing new music, but here we are once more.

Tuesday evening, May 21, Katy Perry tweeted “Just heard a new song on the radio called “I hate being sober” I now have serious doubt for the world.” The post went on to receive over 15,000 retweets, which is impressive for any message, let alone one condemning someone for partying sent by a girl who once sang about …

System Of A Down Bassist Blames Frontman Serj Tankian For Lack Of New Music

System Of A Down have not released a new album since 2005. In the time that has passed since that time UTG was born, over a dozen writers for the site graduated college, and the face of mainstream rock has completely changed at least three times over. Still, even with all that has happened, fans of SOAD continue to ask the band for new material and until now they have received almost nothing in the form of a response.

Taking to Facebook recently, System Of A Down bassist Shavo Odadjian blamed the lack of new music on frontman Serj Tankian …

Patrick Stump Destroys Heckler Shane Morris Over Twitter

Fall Out Boy. Love them or hate them, everyone you know has an opinion about them, and they’re probably not too afraid to share it. In light of the band’s success with Save Rock And Roll one might think the bashing and unnecessary jabs would slow, or at least diminish, but that does not seem to be the case. Now, frontman Patrick Stump has taken to Twitter to call out one of his hecklers, and the results are destined to become internet legend.

Starting around 3:30 PM (EST) today, Stump began posting a series of tweets responding to comments he …

Justin Bieber Causes Drama At The Anne Frank House

Anyone who went to middle school/high school knows who Anne Frank is, and knows what her friends and family went through while they were hiding from Nazis during World War II. That being said, you would think that if given the opportunity to visit the Anne Frank Museum in Amsterdam you would use your time in remembrance of what took place 70 years ago. Or, if you’re Justin Bieber, you may take the opportunity to stereotype all teenage girls and “hope” that this particular girl (Anne Frank) would be a fan of yours.

Well that is just what Bieber …

Kelly Clarkson Responds To Accusations Made By Clive Davis In His New Memoir

Clive Davis’ highly-anticipated memoir hit shelves today, and buried amongst the decades of stories he has to share is an in-depth account of what exactly occurred between him and former American Idol winner Kelly Clarkson a few years back.

If you do not recall, Davis and Clarkson reportedly had a falling out based on a conversation over her hit, “Since U Been Gone,” and it seems Davis now wants to set the record straight. However, Kelly Clarkson has already stepped forward and claimed nearly everything written about her in Davis’ book is false. You can read a message posted by

Streetlight Manifesto Posts Release Date And New Audio Sample For ‘The Hands That Thieve’, Outlines Continued Release Drama

It appears that the ongoing saga surrounding the release of ska band Streetlight Manifesto’s fifth album The Hands That Thieve is finally coming to an end.

April 30. That’s the official release date that the band posted to their Facebook page earlier today, along with a rather pointed directive the band had for their fans. It amounted to, “Please choose the outlet you buy The Hands That Thieve from very carefully,” though not in so many words. We’ve got more details and a brand new sample from The Hands That Thieve after the jump.

Rocketown Promoter Has Different Side To Volumes Controversy

There are two sides to every story, and the latest incident from Rocketown is looking pretty hectic. Last night, the word was Volumes front man Michael Barr was attacked by following his dedication of a song to a homosexual friend (with No Country For New Nashville originally reporting that reasoning, but they have since updated their page to reflect a lack of concrete knowledge on it). Some people posted on their Facebook page saying Barr needed to show more respect and the like, but there was no concrete report on what actually happened.

While no video of the incident …

Volumes Frontman Reportedly Attacked At Rocketown After Dedicating A Song To A Homosexual Friend

Damn, Rocketown. Get it together.

Following news earlier in the week that an employee at the Nashville-based Rocketown music venue was fired after wearing a Hostage Calm shirt promoting same sex marriage, word of a new incident at the Tennessee establishment has made its way to UTG.

According to various sources at the venue, as well as tweets from band members, it seems Volumes frontman Michael Barr was attacked by someone last night following his onstage song dedication to a homosexual friend. You can view a selection of Tweets from Barr and other members of Volumes below, as well …

FAIRHAVEN

MOVIE REVIEW: Fairhaven

Movie: Fairhaven
Director: Tom O’Brien

Indie dramas can be very hit or miss. Some people will be able to find plenty to love about an indie film while others will watch the same film and struggle to find anything of substance. Every once in a while an indie film comes along that tells a story, but soon makes you realize that the real story was the characters and not what they were doing. Fairhaven is that kind of indie film, and it struck all the right chords.

The Plot In You Premiere “Digging Your Grave;” Publicize Drama With Austin Carlile

The Plot In You will be releasing their new, downright brutal album later this month, and today we have another new song to preview.

“Digging Your Grave” was released through the Rise Records Youtube page last night, but it’s not necessarily the song that has everybody talking.

Shortly after “Digging Your Grave” made its online premiere, vocalist Landon Tewers tweeted:

As you can guess, this message sent …

EDITORIAL: What The Hell Is Going On With Katt Williams?

I have spent the past week attempting to begin the following article, but the subject at hand hasn’t slowed down long enough for me to gather all the facts. It’s almost funny how in a time when everyone is more obsessed with celebrity than ever that the following story hasn’t been hitting headlines with the intensity of most trainwrecks, but it has become evident that Katt Williams is either in trouble or in need of help, possibly both, and it’s lead to some of the most bizarre incidents in recent memory.

Unless you pay close attention to direct-to-dvd comedy releases …

BULLSH!T: Detroit Teacher Suspended For Playing Song About Homosexuality; UTG Loses It

I try really hard to keep us out of political waters as often as possible. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not because we don’t care about the issues the impact our readers, it’s actually quite the opposite. You see, we recognize that a large portion of our readers hail from all over the world and it just seems a bit egotistical to assume everyone gives a shit about what us Americans have to complain about. We’re here to discuss entertainment, and that should be catered to as many people as possible.

All that aside, this story came across my desk …
