UTG PREMIERE: One Finger Riot – “Freedom Song”

June 13th, 2013 Brian Lion

Following last year’s Come Drag Me Down and Fly By Life, “Freedom Song” is the first glimpse into the upcoming third album from Faris McReynolds’ One Finger Riot project based out of Los Angeles. This brand new track from OFR boasts a big pop-rock rhythm with driving, reverb-tinged guitars, funky background bass, and a building anthem led by the recurring lyrics, “Never paid anything for what I want, because what I want is free.”

“I love pop music, but I’m not interested in writing the same kind of lyrics that I used to anymore. I don’t want lyrics to …

UTG PREMIERE: A Wolf. A Liar. – ‘Persevere’ EP

June 10th, 2013 James Shotwell

If there is a better way to start a new week than by discovering a new band to help motivate you for the days ahead then I have yet to find it. We receive dozens of unsigned submissions every week, and though we could never feature them all we do our very best to bring as many new bands to your eyes and ears as possible. Today we have a group that will make post-hardcore fans scream and sing with joy all summer long, and we could not be more excited to be a part of their efforts.

A Wolf. …

Heart In Hand Stream ‘Almost There’

May 13th, 2013 James Shotwell

Century Media outfit Heart In Hand have partnered with our friends at Absolutepunk to premiere their debut full length, Almost There.

Set to hit stores tomorrow, and somewhat enjoyed by our staff, the latest offering from Heart In Hand tries to find balance between modern metalcore sensibilities and the relentless aggression of hardcore. The results are decidedly mixed, but we’re sure the band will find a following with a strong dedication to the road. You can stream the album below (or on AP).

Speaking of that review, those wanting our thoughts on Almost There can click here to …

UTG STREAM: Grey Season – ‘Troilus’ EP

May 1st, 2013 James Shotwell

Last Sunday I was sitting at my desk working on a story when my phone rang. Brimming with excitement on the other end of the line was Craig Silva, a friend whom I run a small label with called Antique Records here in Boston. “Are you near a radio,” he asked in a frenzy, “tune into Harvard’s radio station as fast as you can or you may miss it!” I ran to the nearest stereo in my apartment and quickly spun the dial to the small, student-run station. When I got there I heard a group I had until that …

Stream Allison Weiss’ New Album ‘Say What You Mean’

April 15th, 2013 James Shotwell

No Sleep Records will release the full length debut from Allison Weiss entitled Say What You Mean tomorrow, April 16. To celebrate the occasion, AOL’s Spinner has chosen to stream the album a full day ahead of its release.

If you have somehow navigated the indie and alternative underground this long without discovering or hearing the music of Allison Weiss, you must be a ninja with skills far greater than ours. For the last year Weiss and her music has been a near-persistent news item on news sites and her phenomenal work on Say What You Mean is likely to …

Forever Came Calling Release “Ides” Video

April 11th, 2013 James Shotwell

Our brothers and sisters at AbsolutePunk have blessed the internet with the world premiere of Forever Came Calling’s official video for “Ides.”

Debuting online around noon (EST) today, the video for “Ides” follows a familiar formula with fresh ideas. You have the storyline of a young boy and his masks, performance footage with fantastic lighting, and a splash of after effects for flavor. It’s plain and simple, just like the band’s music, and that’s not a complaint on either front.

If you enjoy “Ides,” do whatever you have to in order to obtain a copy of Forever Came Calling’s debut …

Drake Releases “5AM In Toronto” Video

April 2nd, 2013 James Shotwell

Young Money artist Drake has made good on promises from last month and released his official video for the song “5AM In Toronto.”

The clip, which is the second video from Drake to surface in 2013, finds the young MC reciting his lines while hanging out with friends in parking lots and indoor volleyball courts (seriously). When compared to “Started From The Bottom” there is not much to be said other than that this clip feels a bit lazy. It’s less than seven takes in maybe three locations and a song this powerful deserves far better. “Started From The Bottom” …

UTG PREMIERE: States Away – ‘Like The Weather’ EP

March 27th, 2013 James Shotwell

Are there any feelings or sensations in this world that can compare to what comes over you the first time your heart connects with a new band? That initial spark of love that is just as profound as romantic entanglement, but far less messy in the long run. If such a thing exists we know nothing of it, but we are certain a good portion of you will experience that aforementioned moment of emotional avalanche after hearing the latest effort from Ohio’s States Away.

If you recall, the last time we featured States Away they were a baby band …
