Hey, classmates! We are just 10 days away from the start of the idobi Radio Summer School Tour with our dazzling artists Charlotte Sands, Taylor Acorn, and Rain City Drive. Additionally, the tour will feature performances from Beauty School Dropout, If Not For Me, Arrows In Action, and special guest HUDDY. So, if you need to study up before the big day comes to a city near you, we’ve rounded up songs to know and scream along to for each set. Make sure to ace your summer school report card and get your tickets to a city near you ASAP.
Charlotte Sands — “Dress”
This Charlotte Sands song was originally released in 2020, but notably went viral in 2021, and it remains a true-to-form banger. The track, a sultry pop hit, turns gender conformity on its head as she sings, “I love the way you wear that dress/Making everyone upset/Burning that cigarette, boy/Swear to god I’ll confess, boy/Craving your candy lips/All black finger-tips/Looks so good, I’m annoyed/Make me wanna get undressed, boy.” We love a man in a dress, too, queen!
Taylor Acorn — “Nervous System”
This Survival In Motion era track is utterly iconic and all too relatable. Taylor Acorn sings, “You must have tapped into my nervous system/How’d you go blur my vision?/Little weaker in the knees (Than I’d like to be)/Sending signals in my sleep to my dreams.”
Plus, on her Survival In Motion Deluxe LP, Acorn launched her collab with fellow Summer School Tour artist Charlotte Sands… so we just might hear a live collab for “Final Nail.” (Please, please, please let this happen!)
Beauty School Dropout — “ON YOUR LIPS”
When Beauty School Dropout comes onstage and plays this bop, “ON YOUR LIPS,” you won’t be able to help but open up that pit and get a little *freaky* if you’re down for it. After all, they sing, “I wanna taste your spit, I wanna be your bitch/I’ll be a real good boy, I know you like that shit.” So, it only makes sense to go a little feral.
Rain City Drive — “Frozen”
If you need an earnest emotional release, learn these lyrics and get ready to scream the chorus of “Frozen” with Rain City Drive. And while you’re at it, stream the crap out of their 2024 record Things Are Different Now, becuase it is everything and more.
Arrows In Action — “Light Like You”
If you are feeling down, Arrows In Action will pick you right back up with their trademark groovy and vibrant pop-rock. Frankly, we can’t wait to absolutely get down and shake it to “Light Like You.” Not dancing to this track is basically impossible.
P.S. We have another chance for a live collab as Taylor Acorn featured on their track “Uncomfortably Numb.”
If Not For Me — “Tragedy”
And for our metalcore moment of the tour, you need to get down and dirty to “Tragedy” by If Not For Me. These heavy riffs are simply delicious, and the chorus will make you headbang. Sorry, we don’t make the rules.
Huddy — “Vendetta”
Huddy just dropped an absolute heater on June 6, with “Vendetta.” (He even dropped BTS video for us!) So, get ready to belt along with him, “‘Cause you’re making me sick, and I’m done with your shit/No, I won’t forget, ’cause nobody could tell me who I am.”
