Ultrapull, one of the many modern rock outfits to emerge from Los Angeles during the new millennium, composes a feverish spunk similar to the likes of Fuel and matchbox twenty

Exalted by their own operatic prog-glam ambitions, Ultrasound appeared in the late ’90s as a violent reworking of the idiosyncratic compositions of Captain Beefheart and the staged ambisexual pop idioms of the likes of Gary Glitter and David Bowie

California’s alt-metal quintet Ultraspank originally consisted of Jerry Oliviera (guitars), Dan Ogden (bass), Pete Murray (vocals/programming), Neil Godfrey (guitars/programming), and Tyler Clark (drums)

Proving to the world that Seaweed aren’t the only band from Tacoma, WA, the three-piece of Ultraviolet got together in 1998 while attending Pacific Lutheran University

Rejecting the abrasive guitars of their punk-era contemporaries in favor of lushly romantic synthesizers, Ultravox emerged as one of the primary influences on the British electro-pop movement of the early ’80s

Taking their name from the Norewgian word for wolf, Ulver is a black metal band employing both noisy death-metal blasting and more relaxed, morose acoustic instrumentation, depending on the concept of their work

Like many jazz ensembles, Um came together organically over the course of a matter of years until all of its members were in place Initially formed in 1992 as a showcase for trombonist Hal Crook (Phil Woods, Tony D’Aveno) to present original pieces composed for the Trom-o-Tizer —a digital effects processor that harmonized his trombone parts and allowed him to be heard over a rhythm section — the trio, which also featured drummer Bob Gullotti (the Fringe, Surrender to the Air), found a weekly gig in their native Providence, RI

The Atlanta-based duo Umajets paired former Hollyfaith frontman Rob Aldridge and ex-Jellyfish bassist Tim Smith Originally playing together infrequently as “Thing 1 Thing 2”, Umajets became Aldridge and Smith’s primary focus around 1995, in the wake of their previous bands’ simultaneous dissolutions; their debut LP, Demolotion, followed in 1997
