Bass Drum of Death

STREAM: Bass Drum of Death – “Crawling After You”

May 30th, 2013 Mike Sacchetti

Hailing from Mississippi, Bass Drum of Death are a group of indie lo-fi rockers who are ready to break through in 2013. My Old Kentucky Blog released another new song entitled, “Crawling After You,” from their upcoming new self-titled album.

When you blend together an, “I don’t care” punk-rock attitude with catchy melodies, you get a group of musicians who deliver something truly special. Don’t be fooled by their lo-fi appearance, these guys can bring the noise. They were even the backing band for Odd Future’s, Mellowhype, back in 2011 on Fuel TV’s, The Daily Habit.

The Dangerous Summer

The Dangerous Summer Release New Non-Album Track

May 30th, 2013 Mike Sacchetti

After releasing two incredible full length albums in the past, Dangerous Summer fans and critics are waiting in anticipation for the release of their new album. AbsolutePunk reports that the band began teasing the album by releasing an instrumental non-album track, entitled “Hemingway,” via their SoundCloud page.

The instrumental track contains a vocal sample during its intro, while bass, guitar, and a wall of spacey reverb guitar build on top of each other. There has yet to be an explanation as to what exactly this track is. Was it a throw away idea? Is this recording from the same sessions …

MMX Child

EP STREAM: MMX – ‘Child’

May 18th, 2013 Brian Lion

Oxford indie rockers, MMX, are currently streaming their EP, Child, in its entirety on their Soundcloud page. You can go listen to it there or after the jump, here on UTG.

Each of the four tracks on Child are massive in scope with ethereal layers, dramatic vocal melodies, and infectious rhythms possibly borrowing some inspirations from bands like Coldplay, Snow Patrol, and M83, but adding a beautiful twist that’s all their own. It’s already on our premeditated “best of” list of this year’s EP efforts and it’ll be hard to beat.

Two Chapels

STREAM: Two Chapels – “Forgotten”

May 4th, 2013 Brian Lion

New York City electronic duo, Two Chapels, are currently streaming their second single, “Forgotten,” as they gear up to release their debut EP this Summer.

For fans of artists such as Purity Ring and Belle Mare, Two Chapels idealistically combine Jenn Grossman’s dark, and somewhat melancholy, vocal approach with high-end electro pop production, both of which are displayed wonderfully in “Forgotten.” With eerie synths, a bouncy trip-hop beat and industrial/gothic-like vocals, “Forgotten” has a chilled out atmosphere and catchy hooks, leaving us intrigued by the thought of what Two Chapels has in store for us with their …

A unique cover version of the Amy Winehouse classic, “Back To Black,” featuring Beyoncé and Andre 3000, has appeared online. The rendition is slated to be featured on the soundtrack to the upcoming movie, The Great Gatsby. Mark Ronson, who produced the original Winehouse version, first premiered the song on an episode of EastVillageRadio.

NME reports that Ronson said the collaboration was a “wonderful take on our song,” and that he was “flattered and honoured, I know Amy would be too.” While Ronson was impressed with the two superstars’ reworking, Amy Winehouse’s father wasn’t too pleased. Mitch Winehouse …

April 15th, 2013 Mike Sacchetti

Just when you thought Daft Punk would be stealing the electro-pop spotlight for the next few months, Empire Of The Sun releases their new song, “Alive,” from their upcoming album, Ice On The Dune. The Australian duo first gained success after their 2008 debut, Walking On A Dream, and are back with a vengeance.

STREAM: Minus The Bear – “Walk On Air”

April 11th, 2013 Mike Sacchetti

We haven’t heard much from Minus The Bear since their 2012 release, Infinity Overhead. Today, Minus The Bear unleashed their new song, “Walk On Air,” from the soundtrack to the highly anticipated video game, Injustice: Gods Among Us.

 If their last album wasn’t necessarily your thing, you’ll be pleasantly surprised to hear shades of classic Minus The Bear on this track. It could easily be an album cut from their 2007 release, Planet of Ice, or even their debut album, Highly Refined Pirates.  We’ll let you be the judge.
