Found this through a vocal coach reacts video. Listened to it twice then immediately bought everything UTA has on iTunes and I'm completely obsessed with them. I'm a 41 year old metal head and I've been looking for something lately to light a fire under my butt and this did it. The entire band is so talented and TIGHT! UTA, thank you for sharing your talent with us! I can't wait to catch a concert once all of this pandemic crap settles out. Everyone stay healthy and safe!

Just discovered this band a couple of months ago and I cannot get over how damn good they really are. I'm an old '80s metalhead that hasn't found too much within the last two decades of music that I really like. Today I am listening to Apex all the way through and I am just completely blown away. There isn't enough that it can be said about the composition, execution, and production of this album. The musicianship is God level and Brittany should have a constellation named after her someday. I hope that these guys get down south someday, and for the Canadians I don't mean Windsor. Best regards from rejuvenated metal fan. Thank you for your excellence and outright ass kickery on this album.

I recently discovered this band through a picture of her on the internet…. I randomly looked up this band and this was the first song I listened to…. Got me a speeding ticket…..

Any one else notice the drummer using heel-toe technique to do doubles on the bass drums instead if just super fast singles? God damn that's impressive and smart as bell because it saves a lot of energy

This song is amazing and catchy, but once you actually are able to see and visualize what these guys are doing it just adds a whole new level of depth and takes the song from 10 to 11. It's not a "traditional" music video but rather them in their studio playing the song which puts more emphasis on the performance of the music than the theater of a video. Watching the fingers of the guitar and bass players and the feet of the drummer and Brittney's face as she hits those high notes just really showcases how incredible this band is. This is actually the song that I discovered this band on and I haven't looked back since. Also, the production is incredible. The mix really highlights each instruments individual role and prowess and that bass playing is so sick and complex!

Brittney, I am not sure if you will ever read this, but I'd like to thank you for this song. I am not sure what is UTA's current lineup, so I'll mention Grant, Andrew, Nick and Scott in this comment. I'd like to thank the 5 of you for giving me the best song I've heard this year. I didn't know of you guys before, I think I came across your song through a Spotify playlist or so. Nevertheless, this song now means a lot to me. It's one of the most powerful, beautiful songs I've ever heard in my life. From the first time, there wasn't (and there won't be) a single moment where this song won't mess with my emotions. I have wet my eyes and had goosebumps almost every time I listened to Awakening. Music helps define who I am, and this song messes with the innermost part of my being. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for the fast-paced dueling guitar riffs, for the powerful and larger-than-life drum lines, for the creative usage of a jaw-dropping sound of that bass, and most of all, thank you for the TITANIC vocals you have delivered in this song. Thank you for that heartwarming chorus. This song now lives in my heart.

What the hell?!?!?! How am I just discovering this mind blowing band and song!!!! The musicianship and vocals is beyond incredible. This song, to use a baseball analogy, is a walk off home run in the bottom of the 9th in a World Series game.

The melody that drives the chorus genuinely brings tears to my eyes. So PERFECTLY structured. UTA just seems to be getting better and better. I have lived through the "apex" of so many legendary bands in my 48 years, this is something very special and I am hoping for greatness from this band. I, for one, will support with my hard earned dollars happily.
