Taking Back Sunday - Current Line Up 2013

ALBUM STREAM: Taking Back Sunday – ‘TAYF10 Acoustic (Live)’

Sure Taking Back Sunday‘s ten year anniversary of their classic album, Tell All Your Friends, arrived in March of last year, but today sees the release of the songs in an acoustic live arrangement, dubbed TAYF10 Acoustic (Live).

The Long Island rock/emo band took the celebration for the album to the road for nearly two whole months of 2012 through taking bands like Bayside, Mansions, Man Overboard, Transit, and Motion City Soundtrack along with them on a national tour. The recordings that made this album were done at two extra-special shows in Los Angeles and Chicago.

WATCH: Frank Turner – “All My Life” (Foo Fighters Cover)

Everybody’s got a soft spot for Dave Grohl. Yesterday, BBC Radio 1 posted a video performance Frank Turner did in which he covered the Foo Fighters‘ “All My Life,” and Frank hits a home run. It’s an acoustic performance with his full band, and the harmonies are nailed. This is one of many other Frank Turner live videos we’ve seen in the publicity since Tape Deck Heart came out, but the song selection makes this one stand out a bit.

Frank Turner is currently on a massive world tour in which he has dates left in the United States,  …

WATCH: Paul McCartney On ‘The Colbert Report’

Paul McCartney is probably your favorite living Beatle (sorry, Ringo). Sir Paul himself recently got a full hour on the typically thirty minute television show The Colbert Report, in which he was both musical guest and the main interview. While we won’t be posting a full hour (I mean, other things happened on the show), there is more than your average amount of video worth watching here.

Paul performed “Calling Me Back Again,” “Hi, Hi, Hi,” “For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite,” “Listen To What The Man Said,” “I’ve Just Seen A Face,” and “Lady Madonna.” That’s three songs …

Modest Mouse

WATCH: One Hundred Year Ocean Perform Set As Modest Mouse

I wish more bands did things like this for Halloween. Phish is known to “be” other bands for Halloween, putting on what they call “musical costumes” and performing entire sets as a different band. That idea has spread to the New England indie scene, with The World Is A Beautiful Place And I Am No Longer Afraid To Die side-project One Hundred Year Ocean having performed as Modest Mouse back on Halloween in 2011. Video from that performance has surfaced online, and it’s a great watch.

One Hundred Year Ocean will have an EP release coming out later this summer …

Stream Limp Bizkit’s Entire Rock AM Ring Performance

Rock AM Ring took place this weekend in Germany. Like us, most of our readers were unable to attend the massive 3-day festival, and so we’re dedicating a portion of this morning’s news to making sure you see every highlight available.

Though they were certainly not the biggest band on this year’s bill, you would be hard pressed to find Rock AM Ring attendee who did not look as excited as can be to see Limp Bizkit this past weekend. The band performed for well over an hour, knocking out hit after hit, and the crowd of over 80,000 sang …

Machine Gun Kelly Releases Limp Bizkit “Rollin” Live Cover Video

Cleveland native Machine Gun Kelly has a reputation for mixing his influences into his set list, and this afternoon fans around the world got a taste of the madness when the MC released a live video featuring a cover of Limp Bizkit’s “Rollin.”

Some of you may not remember this, but back when most the UTG writers were still in high school Limp Bizkit released an album called Chocolate Covered Starfish And The Hotdog Flavored Water. It didn’t make a damn bit of sense and fans didn’t care. The biggest single off that album was “Rollin,” and now Machine …

Portugal. The Man 2013

WATCH: Portugal. The Man Perform “Purple Yellow Red And Blue” on Fallon

Portugal. The Man paid a visit to Late Night With Jimmy Fallon to perform “Purple Yellow Red And Blue” off of their new album, Evil Friends. The performance is lively enough to get several audience members dancing far more intensely than you normally see on TV. But then again, how else are you supposed to dance to their music? Watch the video of it below.

Evil Friends just came out on June 4 through Atlantic Records and is seeing very positive reviews. You can hear some of their material live on tour, where they are making stops at festivals …

Macklemore and Ryan Lewis Perform “Can’t Hold Us” Live At BBC Radio 1′s Big Weekend

BBC Radio 1 held its annual Big Weekend festival over the weekend. We were not able to go, but thanks to a series of videos popping up online this morning we are able to partake in the highlights of the event. One performance was so good it simply needed to be shared, and here we are to deliver it to you.

It is impossible for anyone who cares about pop music to have made it to this date, May 26, without recognizing the immense talent of Macklemore and musical cohort, Ryan Lewis. Their hit “Thrift Shop” has been essentially inescapable …

Grizzly Bear On Ellen

WATCH: Grizzly Bear Performs Live on ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’

Grizzly Bear recently stopped by The Ellen DeGeneres Show to perform their popular track, “Yet Again,” from late 2012 release, Shields. During her introduction of the band, Ellen DeGeneres mentions that Grizzly Bear is one of her favorite bands. In fact, she loves them so much that she gave away a copy of Shields to everyone in the audience.

According to the Twitter of singer and multi-instrumentalist, Ed Droste, he tweeted, “Ellen and Portia are so nice and welcoming! Feel like we are playing their house they are so enthusiastic. My palm tree face injury amused!”

The National 2013

WATCH: The National Live On The Colbert Report

The National have been around for over a decade, and have been heralded for their indie rock staying power and solid songwriting. With their new album, Trouble Will Find Me, they’ve now gotten the “Colbert Bump”; that is, they’ve made an appearance on The Colbert Report that will likely increase album sales. On the show, singer Matt Berninger did an interview, and the band played both “Graceless” and “Sea Of Love.”

Trouble Will Find Me came out on this past Tuesday, so we’ll see how much work the bump does. To watch the interview or live performances, stick around …
