Unsigned Bands Spotlight - CHICAGO

About Me

My name is Jason Colletti, and I'm starting an online magazine for unsigned bands. This is NOT a contest site! This site is for concert reviews, and interviews with musicians so you can get to know the REAL folks behind the music that's played locally. If you know of any folks that would like to be concert corresponders and would like to write a review of a show you've seen, please send me a message! Ask your friends and fans to request UBS - Chicago as a friend, so they can read up on the local music scene! The more readers I get, the more the bands will be exposed to people!The Spotlight will be on two local bands each month. Due to some family issues, I didnt do an e-zine for a few months. But I really want to get this going and help promote our local bands!SUPPORT THE SCENE!

One of my favorite bands, local or otherwise: Veilside! Check them out!

My interview with Drench

I was flipping through bands in the Chicago area and came across Drench, a female fronted rock band with a twinge of punk (and I mean a twinge!) and some hard edges.  Recently Demetria, lead voca...

August CD Review - THE EUPHORIC

I recently got my hands on a copy of a 4 song demo from THE EUPHORIC, a Chicago based band.  The CD is pure power!  The Euphoric has an old metal sound, and their singer has an incredible vo...

Let the Madness Begin........an interview with KHAOS THEORY

So as I got the idea for starting this e-zine, I realized that while I am a fan of music, I just didn't know enough bands to know where to start.  So I asked a few other bands, starting with Vei...

JUNE SPOTLIGHT: Meet the guys in B.C.

I started my search for local bands, and it wasn't long before I stumbled across B.C., a Chicago-based band that's been around since 2004.  Sounds like a mix between Porcupine Tree and TOOL, wit...

In the Hot Seat - Fall 7

I actually found these guys when I went to see a completely different band (Court Jester) at Legends in Addison in May.  The sound was a cross between a punk band and Led Zeppelin, but I'll admit...
