May 13th, 2013 James Shotwell A day ahead of its official US release, Boston’s Bad Rabbits have released a stream of their new album, American Love.
The first full length effort from Bad Rabbits, and only their second official release (following the beloved Stick-Up Kids EP), American Love combines elements of rock, pop, funk, and soul to create a unique listening experience that is unlike anything you’ve likely heard this year. Bad Rabbits have spent the past few years perfecting their sound, and it’s one that is truly theirs and theirs alone. The intensity, sensuality, and overall energy is engaging. We dare anyone to …

April 22nd, 2013 James Shotwell The term “throwback sound” is thrown around a lot these days, and more often than not it is used to refer to the big band and/or soul pop era of music. While we will always welcome artists new and old pushing that sound, this young talent with an old school sound is channeling a much different era: The 80s.
Hailing from Australia, Betty Who is a twenty-something pop songstress with enough blog buzz to be considered (at least) Tumblr famous. Her short blonde hair and seemingly endless abundance of joyful personality burst from every second of her debut EP, The …

March 25th, 2013 Grant Trimboli Lupe Fiasco took to Twitter last night to rant about violence in the media and especially music industry life. Read what he had to say below and let UTG know what you thought!
Violent music (and all violent media) effectively says its “ok” to be violent. It provides positive reinforcement for negative actions. If you rap and make violent music then own up to it. Stop hiding behind “art imitating life” as a way to evade the guilt. “How the hell you gonna tell this man not 2 be violent?, Cuz he dont need to go the same route that …

So to all of you SXSW rookies out there, read the following:
1. Drink water, not whiskey.
Since SXSW is unlike any other festival in the fact that it is a marathon, not a sprint, pacing yourself is key. With schedules spanning six days and shows popping up from breakfast to bar close, bracing your body is …

With official confirmation from the band, Fall Out Boy has announced a slew of great news, including a new song, “My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light Em Up).” This new song has a lot more synths than previous works, but it definitely has that same Fall Out Boy charm.
But guess what? This song isn’t exactly new. Today we have for you the original demo of the song, and it’s A LOT different than the version that was just …
February 3rd, 2013 James Shotwell Boston legends Big D and The Kids Table have launched a new Kickstarter to fund the recording and release of two new albums.
We cover Kickstarter accounts on a near daily basis at this point, and to be honest, it’s a bit tiring trying to develop new ways to tell you people you may or may not now have something cool that needs help creating. So, in an attempt to promote campaigns we feel you should get behind without driving ourselves mad in the process, we’re going to let Big D and The Kids Table tell you why you should …
