Listen to UMC20LISTEN: The Veils Examine Our Relationship with Time
“Time is a tempest tearing you apart.
Time has a well-known distrust of the heart.”
Across the world, we all had a lot of time on our hands throughout the course of the pandemic. The Veils’ new single, “Time,” captures the essence of feeling powerless against the ticking clock, as life passed us by in isolation.

Listen to UMC20UMC50: 50 Memorable Songs from 2022
Folks, it’s finally here. The day has arrived.
Today, we narrow down the entire year to just 50 songs.
And, let me tell ya, it was a tall task. You’ve brought the heat to us consistently, and there were close calls and tough decisions throughout. We also had to factor in variety — we ensured that as many genres and flavors were represented as possible, to showcase the musical kaleidoscope that is the UMC community.
We hope you enjoy what we have for you on this year’s compilation. Check it out!
Let’s go! Listen to UMC50!PHOTOS: DREAMERS at The Basement East (w/ Smallpools & Young Rising Sons)
DREAMERS have been in my orbit for quite some time. I remember back in the early days of this platform — before we moved to Nashville, and before we were even known as Underground Music Collective — when I would drive through the streets of Bethlehem, PA bumping tunes like “Sweet Disaster” and “Wolves (You Got Me),” traveling from gig to gig, and from meeting to meeting.
So, when we had an opportunity to catch them at The Basement East alongside Smallpools (and with the support of New Jersey natives, Young Rising Sons), we had to jump on it!

Dylan’s appreciation for all things rock and roll is evident in everything she does. A self-proclaimed “rock star in a pop star’s body,” the British-born pop artist incorporates big guitar riffs and a flair for showmanship into her stadium-ready pop anthems.
