REVIEW: Grown Up Avenger Stuff – ‘Sparkleton’

March 25th, 2013 Brian Lion

Artist: Grown Up Avenger Stuff
Album: Sparkleton
Genre: Rock, Punk, Alternative
For fans of: Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Distillers, No Doubt

Charlotte, North Carolina’s Grown Up Avenger Stuff is an alternative punk quartet whose sound is more focused and aware than the ostensively juvenile first impression of their sobriquet may imply. With influences ranging sporadically from The Beatles to Rage Against The Machine, the band’s newest effort, Sparkleton, is as diverse and interesting as that inspirational span would lead you to believe.

February 8th, 2013 Brian Lion

Under The Gun Review is very pleased to bring you this exclusive interview with Scale The Summit; hands down one of the most talented instrumental metal bands in the scene today. Scratch that. Hands down one of the most talented metal bands in the scene today. We’re getting all shaky in anticipation of their forthcoming album, The Migration, but we keep blaring The Collective until we’re fortunate enough to get our sticky little fingers on their next effort.

THE SHORT CUT: An Interview with Director Robert Morgan

August 9th, 2012 Brian Lion

The Short Cut is a new column on Under The Gun that showcases the careers of short film directors. Shorts are often overlooked when it comes to the entire spectrum of film, and by including interviews with the directors themselves and information about their creative efforts, this column will highlight the work of some of the category’s dignitaries that we feel deserve your attention.

A great example of “irony” would be Robert Morgan putting a DO NOT DISTURB sign on his hotel room doorknob.

Morgan has been creating some of the most impressive lurid and nightmarish visuals in the short …

Slipknot

EDITORIAL: Slipknot – A Mask Without a Face?

July 28th, 2012 Brian Lion

In a recent interview with CityBeat, Slipknot’s founder, percussionist and self-proclaimed visionary, Shawn Crahan, better known simply as “Clown,” sang his (and the band’s) own praises, doing away with a modest approach and giving the impression that “The Knot” may have somewhat of a superiority complex.

“…so many people in the beginning wanted us to fail because we are so great. We have been blowing up since day one because a good idea is a good idea and a good song is a good song and a good band is a good band with a performance.”

While I most …

January 22nd, 2012 Jacob Tender

Hello readers! Under The Gun Review wants to thank you for making the beginning of 2012 an exciting and promising one thus far. We know that there are a lot of places to get your news on entertainment, but we’re honored that you’ve picked us as your source on what’s happening.
