REVIEW: Taylor Swift – Red

October 22nd, 2012 Grace Duffy

Artist: Taylor Swift
Album: Red
Label: Big Machine
Genre: Pop/country

In an interview with Billboard magazine recently, Taylor Swift was asked to characterise her latest release, Red. She replied, “It’s all the different ways you can say goodbye to someone.” This is a fitting description for the phenomenally successful artist’s fourth album, a complex and surely divisive leap of faith, as it represents more than anything she’s done a move from her precocious, girlish roots into something more self-aware, mature, and considered. It’s a beautiful album and a really magical listen to anyone in the right frame of mind, …

STREAM: Taylor Swift – “I Knew You Were Trouble”

October 9th, 2012 James Shotwell

We teased it yesterday, and now UTG readers can experience the full, dubstep-loving glory of Taylor Swift’s latest single, “I Knew You Were Trouble.” Released on iTunes this morning, “Trouble” marks the third single from Red to be released, and its by far the poppiest.

Even if you hate the world of EDM, it’s pretty hard to deny the power of the hook on “I Knew You Were Trouble,” right? If you agree, click here to purchase the single on iTunes.

Red hits stores October 22.

The release of Taylor Swift’s new album, Red, is fast approaching. Before today we’ve previewed a handful of songs that find Swift blurring the lines between country and pop, but now it’s time to turn things towards the world of EDM. That’s right, America’s country sweetheart is embracing the world of dubstep for at least one song off her upcoming release, and earlier today a thirty-second clip hit the internet. You can stream the snippet, which is taken from the track “I Knew You Were Trouble,” after the jump.

MUSIC VIDEO: Skrillex & Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley – Make It Bun Dem

September 7th, 2012 Tyler Osborne

Here’s something that surprised me: Skrillex and & Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley released a song together (I guess a while ago?) called “Make It Bun Dem,” and just put out a music video for it. I’m the first person to talk trash on Skrillex, but I actually do like Damian Marley, so I gave this a listen. This is a really awesome song, and a great music video to accompany it. The video tells the story of a Native American family facing eviction, and how they fight back in spite of it. This song is a part of the Make …

STREAM/DOWNLOAD: Alexisonfire – To A Friend (Adventure Club Remix)

August 23rd, 2012 Justin Proper

What’s better than one Canadian music powerhouse giving away a free song? That same Canadian powerhouse act using another great Canadian artist’s track for source material.

EDM masterminds Adventure Club are paying homage Alexisonfire this week with the release of a chillstep take on the classic, “To A Friend.” I know dubstep is probably not the first thing that comes to mind when picturing what pairs with Dallas Green’s smooth vocals, but I’ve gotta say that this track makes you view things in a whole new light. This is beautiful. Click past the jump to stream, download, and enjoy.

WATCH: Obama Targets EDM Crowd With “DJs For Obama” AD

August 14th, 2012 Grant Trimboli

President Obama has been on the cusp of everything cool in the digital world since his initial run over four years ago. Today he continued to show a deep connection with (or at least knowledge of) youth culture by releasing a new campaign video targeting fans of EDM. The clip features DJs from all walks of life discussing the importance of getting involved politically (and supporting their favorite candidate) while speaking as PSA-like as possible. It’s not exactly groundbreaking marketing, but it is a great play by a serious political candidate. Click past the jump to enjoy “DJs For Obama.”…

LIVE ACOUSTIC: Enter Shikari – “Juggernauts”

July 6th, 2012 Tyler Osborne

UK dubstep-hardcore act Enter Shikari recently sat down with NME and did an acoustic session, playing their song “Juggernauts.” Now, I know what you’re thinking. “Enter Shikari? Acoustic? What?” Yeah, I thought the same thing. Enter Shikari is one of the loudest bands in the scene right now, and they are known for their wild and rambunctious live shows. However in a fantastic turn of events Enter Shikari sounds ridiculously good acoustically as well. This version of “Juggernauts,” off of their album Common Dreads, sounds very new and fresh, and here at UTG we are really digging it.

Regarding the unusual combination, rapper Sen Dog of Cypress Hill stated the following:

“I think dubstep is a natural progression of hip-hop… Especially the way that we formulated it with Rusko. There’s definitely some roughness to it.”

The Ready Set Single

The Ready Set Release Teaser to New Song

May 15th, 2012 Tori Thomas

Last week UTG told you about The Ready Set releasing a new song on May 22nd, well we now have a teaser for the song. The single is entitled “Give Me Your Hand (Best Song Ever)” and will be available digitally on May 22nd.

This single brings the popiness The Ready Set normally has, but it also has the electronic sound from dubstep and popular electronic songs. It’s a little different from TRS’s previous music, but I’m sure this will be a hit.

Check out the teaser after the jump. Do you like this new sound from The Ready Set? …

Matt Good Talks About the Future of Kit Fysto

April 28th, 2012 Jacob Tender

After the first announcement of Destroy Rebuild Until God Shows’ disbandment, the first question that came to our minds is “what next?” Craig Owens is, of course, rejoining Chiodos. That’s set in stone. What about the rest of the band, though? What plans do they have?

Nick Martin has been hinting at a project, Aaron Stern has as well. Even the band’s original bassist rejoined Story of the Year a few months ago. What about Matt Good? Well, we know that Matt has found an interest in electronic music much like fellow From First To Last band-mate Sonny Moore (Skrillex), …
