My friend Björn recommended this new band to me a few days back, and although it's taken me a while to find the time to check them out, I must say I'm glad I did. Still unsigned but already working on their debut album, this Danish quintet specialize in dark, grandiloquent guitar rock constructed around Jesper Both's grave, powerful vocals and obscure lyrics. Think a dead-serious version of Muse trying to cover The Bends, or a double-album by the Smashing Pumpkins where Billy Corgan's vocals had been replaced by Chris Cornell or Eddie Veder, and you'll begin to get an idea of the musical universe Utah seem to live in. Listen to the title track from their self-released 2005 EP Break the Mould.
-Thank you Björn!
