Well, isn’t punk rock exciting when you’re older and jaded instead of young and angry? Black Flag, one of the most well known pioneers of the 80s hardcore punk movement, recently reunited as two different projects. One is the official reunion, still known as Black Flag, which features former members in vocalist Ron Reyes and band leader and guitarist Greg Ginn. The bassist for the recordings is “Dale Nixon,” which is actually a pseudonym for Greg Ginn; the bassist live is reported to be Dave Klein from Screeching Weasel. It should be noted that the lineup was originally …

DOWNLOAD: Tera Melos – “Tropic Lane”
January 17th, 2013 Dan Bogosian Tera Melos have been working on a new record for some time. I would even guess that the album’s been finished for a while since guitarist and vocalist Nick Reinhardt had the time to come out with a solo album for Christmas. Today, they had a song, “Tropic Lane” premier on Rolling Stone from their upcoming album. The album, X’d Out, comes out on April 16, and is suddenly on my radar as one of the most anticipated releases of the year (I like Tera Melos, and I’m not ashamed). Nick has gotten better at singing over …

Enjoy,” Beckett said, according to …

STREAM/DOWNLOAD: Automatic Habit – “Merry Christmas, Don’t Come Home”
December 18th, 2012 Dan Bogosian File this one under another modern Christmas release that I enjoy more than the classics. “Merry Christmas, Don’t Come Home” has the punk rock sound the title shouts for, and has the stylized lead guitar work that most pop/punk is dearly lacking. The band, Automatic Habit, have released the song for free download on their Bandcamp page.
Singer Johnny Costa said “We just got tired of hearing the same overjoyed Christmas song every year and figured we’d lend a dose of reality. The world needs more bitter Christmas songs. Christmas is bitter.” Their previous songs, “Play It …

STREAM/DOWNLOAD: Saves The Day – “Skulls” (The Misfits Cover)
November 19th, 2012 Dan Bogosian Saves The Day have been hinting for months that they were recording a few covers. No real rhyme, reason, or release was ever given, but look on the bright side: things like this little surprise of a cover happen out of nowhere. The band’s Facebook alerted the world that they had intended to release it around Halloween, but alas, it didn’t happen in time. I hadn’t taken STD to be fans of The Misfits.
There’s reason to think more is coming, too. Perhaps this is looking too far into it, but the mp3 when downloaded is titled “01 Skulls …

MIXTAPE: UTG’s Ignorant Anthems of 2012
November 19th, 2012 James Shotwell By this point it should be no secret that the UTG staff loves hip hop, but today we are taking things to another level. You see, throughout 2012 we have stumbled upon a number of tracks that specialize in rattling your speakers, filling you with energy, and making sure you walk around as if you have chip on your shoulder regardless of whether or not such ego deserved. Some call it fluff rap, others call it disposable, but here at UTG we choose to use the term ignorant, and recently we’ve collected our favorite bass-thumping, hype heavy tracks from the …
