Brand New Line Up Shows Around Riot Fest

May 20th, 2013 James Shotwell

Seeing Brand New live has become the musical equivalent to finding a golden ticket in your Wonka bar. It is anyone’s guess when or where they will play next, and it’s rare any announcement outside of major festivals happens more than a few weeks in advance. Lucky for fans in the midwest, this is not the case today.

Starting at noon today, UTG has learned that Brand New will be announcing a handful of shows around their scheduled September appearance at Riot Fest in Chicago. PropertyOfZack already located one gig in upstate New York, and we can tell you exclusively …

I Can See Mountains

STREAM: I Can See Mountains – “One Big Table”

April 19th, 2013 Tyler Osborne

Buffalo, NY based punk group I Can See Mountains released a new song today, “One Big Table,” which is set to come off of their debut LP, Life on a Houseboat. I Can See Mountains is one of UTG’s favorite bands making waves in the scene right now, and if you give these new songs a listen you’ll understand why. They’re catchy, well-written, and they don’t sound like every other band out there right now. In a scene that is over saturated with the same old thing, some variety is always welcome.

Life on a Houseboat comes out in …

Slowly but surely this set has had individual performances leaked on the internet and we honestly cannot get enough of them.

Pentimento Release Self-Titled Album For Free; Explain Issues With Physical Release

November 13th, 2012 Justin Proper

We have been hyping the release of Pentimento’s self-titled album for some time, but like you we were very perplexed by the lack of pre-orders and normal promotional activities. Turns out, the New York rock act wanted to take a more natural release route, but issues with their former label Panic Records caused everything announced back in September to fall apart in the weeks leading up to this point. In an attempt to combat the situation without letting fans down Pentimento have released their album for free through their official website. Those interested in picking up a copy can do …

FINALLY: Dr Acula Break Up

October 26th, 2012 James Shotwell

We have not kept our distaste for New York’s Dr Acula too quiet over the years, and for good reason. On the few occasions we have come in contact with them since their early days as MySpace standouts they have continually shown zero respect towards us and gone as far as to attempt framing our writers more as digital bullies than critics. If they were assholes who made good music we would still tell you their songs were great, but that is not the case here, and we’re all pretty excited to finally say good riddance to this piss poor …

“Young English, is going on a hiatus. If this is temporary or permanent, I have no idea. But we will not be an active band for a while, and that was mutually agreed upon. Basically, it comes down to Chris needing to focus on his personal life. We all want him do what is best for …
