Excitingly, he live-debuted his cover of Goo Goo Dolls‘ “Iris” with Julia Wolf, who also appeared at Warped Tour and is set to support him on select dates on his tour.

The two artists blended their voices to craft a heartbreaking, yet ethereal piece—an instantly iconic alternative collaboration.

The first Pride was a riot—the Stonewall riots, to be exact. And it feels like the spirit of those early movements needs to return. As the United States legislates against transgender individuals, incites attacks on LGBTQIA+ rights, and defunds valuable health programs such as HIV research, it might feel like there’s a looming dark cloud over the month. However, celebrating who you are and who you love is an act of resistance! Not only does the whole team at idobi Radio celebrate Pride, these alternative musicians and brands are also celebrating the LGBTQ+ people in their lives this June and… Read more »
Let’s level with each other—the music in a movie can make or break the whole entire viewing experience. I mean, what would Star Wars and Jurassic Park be without John Williams’ beloved orchestral arrangements? Or, what would a viewing of Titanic be without the tear-inducing “My Heart Will Go On” by Celine Dion? Of course, some movies are made better by rock and metal music. (Just look at any soundtrack from the Saw franchise.) These emo bands utterly transformed movies in the 2000s, 2010s, and 2020s by being on the soundtrack.
