Bad Rabbits Can't Fool Me

STREAM: Bad Rabbits – “Can’t Fool Me”

May 9th, 2013 Jordan Munson

The Bad Rabbits are at it again.

Less than a week before American Love drops (preorder it), Boston’s Bad Rabbits have released another single for fans to enjoy. “Can’t fool Me” harken’s back to the style of the Stick Up Kids EP from a few years back (more so than the other recent singles, that is), and is just as fun, boisterous, and funky as we have come to expect. You can stream the new jam right after the jump.

Bad Rabbits are an incredible live band. Click here to see their upcoming tour dates.

While you are busy wallowing in your own sorrow be sure to relive the glory days of RATM, with a full set stream from 1992. Throw back!

“No, there’s no plans for anything right now. No plans,” he told Triple M.

“I wish I could give you some big scoop but,” he laughed, “It’s like …

REVIEW: The Guru – Go Easy

November 15th, 2012 Dan Bogosian

Artist: The Guru
Album: Go Easy
Label: Seagreen Records
Genre: Funk / Indie Rock

Most modern scene music is sad. It’s mostly emo music or music based around some form of punk rock, laced with emotions, with typical lyrics about break ups and heart break and ex-girlfriends and angst. Connecticut’s The Guru are not without their share of meaningful lyrics, but it’s not emo music by any stretch. The Guru are a white Earth Wind & Fire with Modest Mouse, Brock-era vocals and more indie songwriting. Their second full length, Go Easy, is their best release yet.

The title track from Drake’s forthcoming album has arrived online and UTG has all the goods.

REVIEW: John Mayer – Battle Studies

November 18th, 2009 James Shotwell

John-Mayer-Battle-Studies-Album-CoverArtist: John Mayer
Album: Battle Studies
Genre: Rock
Label: Columbia

I think it goes without saying that whether you like him or not, you’ve at least heard a song by John Mayer. Ever since his debut on the national scene, Mayer has blazed a path all his own and has become the young hope of rock and roll in an era flooded by overproduction and bad metal. Throughout out each release and side project, Mayer has made music he loved and felt passionate about while fans everywhere followed closely behind. Now, with the release of his fourth studio album, Battle …

Oh how I miss Spitalfield.

The Greatest Lakes shows vast maturity and style difference …
