Record Store Day 2013 Features Highest Sales Ever

April 25th, 2013 Dan Bogosian

That’s right, folks. Record Store Day this year had a new …record… for sales. The USA Today is reporting that 200,000 units were sold the week of RSD this year, up from 147,000 in 2012. Vinyl sales overall have been on the increase for a while even as overall music sales were slumping.

Perhaps most interesting is how the rate of increase on album sales over the prior week has changed each year. The growth has been as follows:
2013 (April 20, 2013): +59%
2012 (April 21, 2012): +27%
2011 (April 16, 2011): +39%
2010 (April 17, 2010): +12%

STREAM: Surfer Blood – “Slow Six”

April 22nd, 2013 Mike Sacchetti

In the wake of Record Store Day, many of the exclusive tracks that were released are now starting to surface here on the interweb. The previously unreleased, “Slow Six,” by Surfer Blood, just happens to be one of those tunes.

The track is the featured b-side on their 7″ Record Store Day release, which also includes their lead single, “Demon Dance,” from their upcoming album, Pythons. “Slow Six” is a waltz based record done right. It includes all of the heavy feedback, reverb, and guitar bends that give Surfer Blood their signature sunny, indie-pop sound.

LYRIC VIDEO: Deftones – “Swerve City”

April 10th, 2013 Anthony Galasso

Deftones released their new lyric video for “Swerve City” yesterday afternoon.

Utilizing footage from old school westerns, the video compliments the song fairly well with eerie vibes.

Record Store Day 2013 Release List Announced

February 28th, 2013 Tyler Osborne

Vinyl purchasing is on the rise in the industry. However it never really died. Celebrated since 2007, Record Store Day is a day in April (2013 will celebrate on April 20) where fans celebrate their local record shops by purchasing records. While I am of the strict belief that every day is record store day, this special day does have something fun to offer collectors: limited vinyl. Today at UTG we are excited to share with you a list (which I’m sure will get updated).

Labels work together with their artists to bring limited, repressed, and unreleased material to wax, …
