STREAM: Baauer – “Slip”

January 14th, 2013 Dayton O'Connor

Yung king of trap Baauer describes his sound as, “Hip-Hop born from The Internet”. Well we like hip-hop and it goes without saying that we’re also fans of the internet. We’re guessing you are too.

We know, we know. We shouldn’t assume; it makes an ass out of you and me. But we’re guessing you’re probably reading this while you’re using the internet, right? Unless you’re some sort of wizard or something.

Anyways, Baauer has just graced his beloved internet with a new track. Premiered on Diplo’s BBC Radio 1Xtra show, “Slip” is more of what we’ve come to expect …

Mumford & Sons To Play Synths, Go Electronic?

December 26th, 2012 Dan Bogosian

Perhaps this is blowing an out of context quote out of proportion, but it seems as though Mumford & Sons have something new up their sleeves. After two albums of indie folk music, they have told NME that their next record may feature electric guitar and synthesizers.

Rather than have you wonder the context, here’s the full quote from Marcus Mumford on it: “We’ve always done what feels good, rather than what we’ve thought long and hard about, and we’ll do whatever feels soulful next, whether that’s with an electric guitar or a synthesizer.” Perhaps this doesn’t indicate …

December 22nd, 2012 Jordan Munson

To coincide with this countdown we’ll be posting our top 25 metal (and metal-ish) albums of 2012. 25 days of hell, 25 rad metal albums to make up for it.

How to describe Enter Shikari? A number of adjectives and descriptors could apply, but nothing can really describe them in full. At face value their music appears to be fun, …

MUSIC VIDEO: Crystal Castles – “Plague”

September 25th, 2012 Grant Trimboli

Crystal Castles never seem to disappoint and today they have unleashed the video for their single “Plague,” which can be seen here.

The video shows a possessed lady flailing her arms around in a subway tunnel and then cuts to a girl in a ballet studio acting just as strange.

“Plague” is off of Crystal Castles’ upcoming third full-length album, due to release in November. UTG will have more information on the album in the weeks to come. The duo have also stated that they are putting a new single, called “Wrath of God,” and will be available to stream …

Blaqk Audio is the side-project of Davey Havok and Jade Puget, also known as one-half of influential punk rock outfit AFI. Black Audio represents a distinct departure from Havok and Puget’s punk roots. Instead of quick hitting, goth-inspired punk ditties, Blaqk Audio closer resembles dark, …

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? …

REVIEW: Marina and the Diamonds – Electra Heart

May 8th, 2012 James Shotwell

Artist: Marina and the Diamonds
Album: Electra Heart
Genre: Electronic/pop
Label: 679, Atlantic

I fell in love with Marina Diamandis quite some time ago, as a piercing and bolder alternative to the much-vaunted Florence and the Machine. I write this because Marina is often dismissed as an also-ran and a poor man’s imitation of Flo in these parts, which is not only tremendously unfair but says nothing of the individual strengths of both artists. Marina’s lyrics are caustic and sharp and her music, as anyone who has listened to The Family Jewels can attest, more diverse and rugged than anything …
