Album Review: Mouth Sounds – Sing or Swim EP
March 13, 2017Charlotte’s Daniel Howie is no stranger to the music industry. Howie spent the early 2010’s garnering some buzz with indie-rock outfit Sugar Glyder by performing at SXSW as well as sharing the stage with acts like Silversun Pickups, Neon Trees, and Manchester Orchestra. Since the band broke up in 2012, Howie has traded in the indie-rock...
Michigander Releases Live in Chicago EP
February 10, 2017It’s always great to see your favorite local bands start to make a name for themselves. Michigander first popped onto my radar a couple of years ago while perusing Real Feels’ website for some new music to fall in love with. I listened to the three tracks that were posted on...
Single Review: Dead Seem Old – This Mess Won’t Make Itself

New Discovery: PLGRMS
January 12, 2017As my musical horizons broaden, I find myself listening to more and more music that I probably wouldn’t have listened to before starting UBL.

Mo Pop Festival 2016: Day 2
August 14, 2016The morning of day two of Mo Pop Festival was much different than that of day one. First off, it was raining which helped cool it down a bit (though the humidity still felt a bit ridiculous). Secondly, my mood had done a complete 180 after a day packed with amazing performances. I no longer had to...
Mo Pop Festival 2016: Day 1
August 9, 2016I’m going to be honest, the last thing I wanted to do when I woke up the Saturday of Mo Pop was get up and go sit out in the heat all day. I had been dreading the day all week after the temps rose back up to unbearable. That doesn’t even factor in the...
Album Review: DREAMERS – This Album Does Not Exist
August 6, 2016I’ve been chomping at the bit for a full length LP from Brooklyn trio, DREAMERS, ever since I first discovered their pop tinged indie rock sounds back in 2014. I was lucky enough to catch the guys last year when they played Mo Pop and couldn’t help but scream with...
Album Review: Manwomanchild – Awkward Island
July 11, 2016Summer has been a rather humid affair this year. It’s hard to get out and enjoy the weather when all you have to do to work up a sweat is breathe. I’ve been on the lookout for breezy summer music to help battle the heat and was lucky enough to find Philadelphia’s Manwomanchild fronted...
Album Review: Creature Comfort – Echoes & Relics

Nashville foursome, Creature Comfort, craft a fun and carefree set of songs on their new...
Concert Review: Brothertiger, Gosh Pith, and JR JR
November 15, 2015November 13, 2015: Royal Oak Music Theatre, Royal Oak
There’s nothing like a concert that you’ve been looking forward to for months to get you through a crappy week. It’s been a big year for JR JR as their new self-titled album has started to garner the talented duo some overdue attention on national airwaves....
Album Review: Fanfarlo – Let’s Go Extinct
February 12, 2014Fanfarlo worked collectively with sound engineer David Wrench in North Wales, producing a philosophical album that explores human existence and evolution.
