UTG CRUSH: Stream Lana Del Rey’s Leaked Single “Queen Of Disaster”

May 17th, 2013 James Shotwell

Forget about TGIF. Today at UTG HQ we’re screaming T-G-F-L-D-R (Thank God For Lana Del Rey).

Just weeks after she made us weak in the knees with her heartbreaking Great Gatsby contribution “Young And Beautiful,” a new single from Lana Del Rey entitled “Queen Of Disaster” has found it way online. Spoiler alert: It’s fantastic.

Inspired by Summer and the most timeless 60s pop, “Queen Of Disaster” is a dizzying ode to young love and the trouble it finds. Lana’s angelic vocals soar perfectly over a sock hop ready drum beat and swirling strings that are a disco ball shy …

French Montana Recruits The Weeknd For “Gifted”

May 15th, 2013 James Shotwell

Love him or hate him, it’s hard to deny French Montana’s knack for partnering with the biggest names in the industry. He’s the rapping equivalent to DJ Khaled in terms of collaborations, and today’s new single is no different.

Letting Canadian heartthrob The Weeknd take center stage, “Gifted” pairs the Montana and the crooner against a relatively empty beat. The focus is supposed to be on the lyrics, and we could argue for hours over whether or not Montana should think his mic skills deserving of such a spotlight (spoiler: they’re not), but there is no denying the exciting atmosphere …

On My Honor Stream “Time To Heal”

May 15th, 2013 James Shotwell

Kicking off the day with stiff glass of pop punk, our friends at Absolutepunk have partnered with On My Honor to premiere “Time To Heal.”

Tennessee may not be the first place you think of when considering the next generation of pop punk heavyweights, but one listen to “Time To Heal” will give you a fresh outlook. The group’s forthcoming album, I Never Deserve The Things I Need , is going to be the firing pistol on their ascent through the scene when it arrives June 11. If you are not familiar with the group’s heartfelt take on the genre, …

SINGLE REVIEW: Design The Skyline – “Deathgaze”

May 14th, 2013 James Shotwell

Artist: Design The Skyline
Track: “Deathgaze”
Genre: Metalcore
Label: Victory

Design The Skyline arrived on Victory Records already being considered a joke by many in the heavy music community. At the time, the band used the current fads of the scene as crutches on which to hoist their generic-yet-intense brand of metalcore. Genre fans cried foul, as did label fans, and by the time their debut arrived a wide selection of press had already stopped covering the group’s activities. Victory has never been one to admit that it has made a mistake, however, and this morning the lead single off …

A$AP Ferg Streams “Work” Remix Featuring A$AP Rocky, French Montana, ScHoolBoy Q, and Trinidad James

May 14th, 2013 James Shotwell

The takeover of hip hop by A$AP Mob inches a bit further ahead this morning with the release of A$AP Ferg’s star-studded remix to “Work.”

Debuting on A$AP Mob’s website via Soundcloud overnight, the official “Work” remix pairs the A$AP heavyweight with new verses from French Montana, A$AP Rocky, ScHoolBoy Q, and young favorite Trinidad James. The final product is a banger overall, but the quality of each appearance is debatable. James’ lack of experience in music is starting to show about as often as he references lyrics from his hit “All Gold Everything.” Likewise, Rocky’s verse takes a decidedly …

REQUIRED LISTENING: The Notorious B.I.G. – “Everyday Struggle” (Dead Battery Remix)

May 14th, 2013 James Shotwell

The number of remixes that are submitted to UTG is sometimes ridiculous. Whether it’s unknown rappers trying to cash in on a popular beat with their own poorly-produced freestyle, or a DJ trying to make a classic track their own, people constantly contact us about posting their interpretation of previously successful tracks. For the most part, these messages don’t offer much in the form of quality content, but every now and then something comes through that makes us stop and say “Wow.” This post is about one such track.

Austrian producer, Dead Battery, has released a refreshing new version of …

Gucci Mane Recruits 2 Chainz For “Use Me”

May 13th, 2013 James Shotwell

Atlanta has been a hotbed for urban music for the better part of the last decade, and today two of its biggest names collide for a banger that may just leave your speakers smoking.

Gucci Mane and 2 Chainz have joined forces to deliver “Use Me,” a Gucci-lead track that boasts a beat so ferocious you can literally do nothing to prevent it from linking with that part of your soul that loves good bass usage and making you convulse intensely for the better part of four minutes. 2 Chainz leads things off with his strongest bars in recent memory, …

Heroes For Hire Stream “Hate Myself Again”

May 13th, 2013 James Shotwell

Mondays are indescribably better with the addition of pop punk, so we cannot begin to tell you how epic your day will be after hearing the latest from Australia’s Heroes For Hire.

Debuting on RockSound earlier today, Heroes For Hire are streaming a new song entitled “Hate Myself Again.” The track, which is currently available for purchase on iTunes (follow the link on the player), is essentially pop punk 101. A simple chord progression drives the verses, with a catchy and bouncy hook helping seal the deal. It’s hard to say “Hate Myself Again” will help Heroes For Hire stand …

I See Stars Borrow From Bane For “Can We Start Again;” Announce Digital Mixtape ‘Renegades Forever’

May 13th, 2013 James Shotwell

Michigan’s I See Stars have returned to the UTG headlines with the release of a new song and the promise of more to come in the (very) near future.

“Can We Start Again” is the first song to surface from I See Stars since the 2012 release of Digital Renegade. The song, which started as a b-side, features guest vocals from Frankie Palmeri of Emmure and Mattie Montgomery, as well as lyrics from the legendary hardcore group Bane. This is not a cover per se, but rather a reinterpretation of lyrics for the purpose of inspiring a new scene …

RONNIE RAPS: Falling In Reverse Announce New Album; Stream “Alone”

May 7th, 2013 James Shotwell

We knew Ronnie Radke and crew were in the studio working on a follow-up to their Epitaph debut The Drug In Me Is You, but what we never expected was how the final results would sound.

Around 10AM EST today, May 7, Falling In Reverse announced plans to release a new album entitled Fashionably Late on June 18. The artwork for the album has been released and can be found after the jump, but no further details or pre-order information was released. We’ll update you as additional information begins to surface.

Alongside the news of their new album, Falling …

STREAM: The Wonder Years – “The Devil In My Bloodstream”

May 7th, 2013 James Shotwell

We thought The Wonder Years were done teasing material from their forthcoming album. Thankfully, we were wrong.

While appearing on Man Overboard’s radio show last night, TWY frontman Dan “Soupy” Campbell premiered a new song entitled “The Devil In My Bloodstream.” The track, which is the fourth to surface off The Greatest Generation is the first piano-lead track in the group’s history. In fact, the first two minutes are essentially just Campbell and the piano, but as the song hits its stride the full band comes in for an near-overwhelming musical punch that emphasizes every lyric uttered moments before. It’s …

STREAM: Ace Hood Ft. Wiz Khalifa, T.I., Meek Mill, French Montana, 2 Chainz, Future, DJ Khaled & Birdman – “Bugatti” (Remix)

May 7th, 2013 James Shotwell

Holy shit. Call the rest of hip hop and tell them to take the day off because Ace Hood just released the remix of the year.

Recruiting essentially every major rapper outside of Kanye and Jay-Z, Ace Hood has assembled the most star-studded remix for “Bugatti” that anyone could have imagined. Wiz Khalifa, T.I., Meek Mill, French Montana, 2 Chainz, Future, DJ Khaled, and Birdman all add verses to the chart-dominating hit, and though the quality of each verse varies the overall result is second-to-none. Personally, I think Meek Mill steals the show, but with this many features there is …
