The Ready Set  2013

The Ready Set Release “Give Me Your Hand (Best Song Ever)” [Ghengis Cuts Remix] Video

The Ready Set are one of the most adored young pop rock acts on the market today. Their high-gloss, generally family friendly tunes about love and partying have infected tweens, teens, and a sizable amount of twenty-somethings with hooks that they simply cannot get out of their heads. Last year, the group found their greatest single song success with “Give Me Your Hand (The Best Song Ever),” and this year they sorta hope to do it again.

We have seen remix videos in the past, but rarely are they shot a DJ remix, let alone released a year after the …

REVIEW: Betty Who – The Movement

Artist: Betty Who
Album: The Movement
Label: Unsigned
Genre: Pop

You can say whatever you want about the 1980s being a disposable decade for music. You can toss around names like Wham and Culture Club all day, but it won’t change the fact that a generation of slap bracelets and Devo hats altered music with a fairly heavy and significant thumbprint. Step back for a second and analyze the structure of the music you’re spinning. Indie artists like Tegan and Sara and Stars and pop icons like Katy Perry and fun. are cashing in off the influence of an often …

UTG STREAM: Grey Season – ‘Troilus’ EP

Last Sunday I was sitting at my desk working on a story when my phone rang. Brimming with excitement on the other end of the line was Craig Silva, a friend whom I run a small label with called Antique Records here in Boston. “Are you near a radio,” he asked in a frenzy, “tune into Harvard’s radio station as fast as you can or you may miss it!” I ran to the nearest stereo in my apartment and quickly spun the dial to the small, student-run station. When I got there I heard a group I had until that …

FLEETWOOD MAC - EXTENDED PLAY

Fleetwood Mac Unveil ‘Extended Play,’ First New Material in a Decade

Fleetwood Mac have slowly been stepping back into the music spotlight lately. After teasing crowds on their recent world tour with 2 new songs, Fleetwood Mac finally drops the long awaited, Extended Play. The new EP marks the first new music from the band in a decade.

While 10 years may seem like an awful long time, it’s nothing compared to nearly half a century, which is almost how long it took to release a studio version of the song, “Without You.” The track dates back to the early 70s, where the duo of Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks …

REVIEW: Ramsey – ‘You’ve Got A Lot Of Heart, Kid’ EP

ARTIST: Ramsey
ALBUM: You’ve Got A Lot Of Heart, Kid EP
LABEL: SwitchBitch Records
GENRE: Pop punk

There is a special place in my heart for pop punk. I might not be a die hard fan, but sometimes you just want to listen to some fast paced, upbeat jams that can only be served up by a pop punk group. Ramsey proves to have that staple pop punk sound with their raspy vocals, distorted guitars and quick percussion. They mean business, and are making a name for themselves with their brand new EP You’ve Got A Lot Of Heart, Kid
