uni and the urchins
UNI is the burgeoning glam-grunge trio fronted by Jack James
"UNI are in their own league and therefore genre" - V Magazine
"Seventies prog-rock exaggeration served with glitter-rock bang" Rolling Stone
"UNI haven't just invented a surreal mix of glam rock and art pop, they've created an entire alternate UNIverse" - Paste
"A wild trippy ride into some truly colorful and perverse minds, and we're very here for it" - Nylon
Video
DEBRIS
"[Debris] feels like a "Mad Max" & "Stranger Things" fever dream… the band ditches the fuzzy guitar and thrashing drums of their past songs for piano and an ornate entourage of strings" - Nylon
"UNI release perfect music video for the times. [Debris] has a post-apocalyptic feel with a genderless alien as a cult leader." - Gay Times
"[UNI] stands out from the pack like few other bands in recent memory. If a sci-fi glam rock revival really is in the works, UNI is in the perfect position to become both the genre's best-seller and standard bearer." - San Diego Reader
DONNA MARIJUANA
“… a dazzling track that’s dressed to dance in psychedelic swirls.” - Cool Hunting
“Brain-melting time travel video whips up a tasty mix of late-20th century Waldorf salad, with plenty of nuts… fun, funky, and free – the perfect soundtrack for a groovy record party…or a munchie run to the 7-11.” - Post-Punk
PREDATOR'S BALL
"UNI might have the work ethic and creative independence of a DIY band, but that's about where the comparisons to your high school punk band end." - Out of The Box, iHeartRadio
"bitching and bewitching" - Flaunt
"There’s nothing subtle about New York trio UNI… the band has been marrying striking, larger than life visuals with psychedelic-tinged art pop since 2017. The band showcases their starpower, as well as a cutting sense of humor and vast knowledge of cultural references with each song delivered…” - KEXP
DNA
"Musically, they gleefully crush the zeitgeist beneath their fashionable heels, opting for a mix of ’70s art-prog and sludge metal, as filtered through a more gothic sounding Smashing Pumpkins… Singer Jack James’ ghostly falsetto only makes the proceedings all the more eerie and disconcerting." - BlackBook Magazine
“A cyborg recording of analog tape, industrial drum machines and bass keytar exploring postmodern themes on genetic mutation and futurism through a goth lens. All that and more is featured in the cinematically striking and thematically alarming video” - Alt Press
AMERICAN FAG
“Uni's 'American Fag' Is a Queer Anthem and a Pushback on P.C. Culture.” - Advocate
“Glitter-rock meet psychedelic, with a hint of punk, is merely touching on what this sounds like. Uni look like the theatre/art kids that you'd actually want to spend your lunch break with at school.” - V Magazine
