Resolution

UTG INTERVIEW: ‘Resolution’ Directors Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead

May 15th, 2013 Brian Lion

Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead’s Resolution is one of the most legitimately creepy and intense horror genre films we’ve seen in some time. Without any over the top visual effects and a unique twist on the supernatural theme, the sense of reality and terror in the film has certainly resonated with us and the film’s ending has led to some conversations amongst us that have seen it. Overall, we dare to say that it’s easily one of the best horror films we’ve seen in the past few years, or maybe even longer.

We had the opportunity to speak with the …

April 24th, 2013 Brian Lion

Who knew that a band with such a bizarre moniker that we only very recently became privy to would make for one of our favorite interviews in recent months? Russia/Germany’s My Woshin Mashin may seem similar to the likes of Die Antwoord based on the picture to the left, but their music is very much their own, sharing sounds with next to no one.

The genre-bending group’s Hugo Simons took some time to speak candidly with UTG about their most recent release, insight into their homelands, and much more about their music and its elements. Venture through the “Read more” …

Belle Mare

UTG INTERVIEW: Belle Mare

April 17th, 2013 Brian Lion

Belle Mare is one of my greatest finds on Bandcamp. There are those moments after clicking through hundreds of bands and coming up empty-handed when you finally click on one and the sounds that exude from your computer hit the spot and make you feel like all that time clicking and searching was worth the wait. The band’s debut EP, The Boat of the Fragile Mind is gorgeous. It’s melancholy and elegant and ethereal. It’s folky dream pop at its finest and I can’t stop listening to it as of late.

We had the opportunity to speak with the Brooklyn …

UTG INTERVIEW: Buddy Nielsen of Senses Fail

April 16th, 2013 Brian Lion

When Senses Fail’s first effort dropped through Drive-Thru Records in 2002, apart from a few select other bands such as Underoath, Thursday, and DTR labelmates, Finch, it was a bit ahead of the screamo game and completely fresh in the ears of listeners. Now 11 years later, Senses Fail have reached their sixth effort (fifth full-length), Renacer, and show an impressive evolution and progression as they’ve aged and matured.

We had the opportunity to speak briefly with the New Jersey outfit’s founder and vocalist, Buddy Nielsen, as we discussed the aforementioned growth the band has shown and a little …
