For the elder emos with kids, Sparrow Sleeps has delivered a new lullaby album to not only rock your little ones to sleep but to let you do so, too. They have released a collaboration with Canadian pop-punkers Simple Plan to rework their 2004 album Still Not Getting Any… to Still Not Getting Any Sleep… The album includes beloved singles “Shut Up!” and “Welcome To My Life,” which make for a great intro to any baby who’s new to the world. The band posted on their Instagram about the release and said, “We still remember how special it was to… Read more »
Say Anything are back together and have released a brand new track, “Psyche!” Today. They are a band that have always done things differently than everyone else. They stuck out like a sore thumb in the scene since their inception in a beautifully unique and transparently broken way. Max Bemis is a genius to say the least and you won’t find another project quite like his. Hell, their first full-length album, …Is A Real Boy, was intended to be a performative musical that transformed into a two-part melodic odyssey. With spoken word interludes, triumphant and drastic sonic changes within each… Read more »

by Sasha 8123 means everything to me! So, after two years of *no* live music, very little social interaction, and a whole lot of bingeing all the shows ever created; idobi gave me the moment I’ve been waiting for! An opportunity to go cover 8123 Fest in Phoenix! Ok, so let me just tell you, I basically cried with happiness! There I was, telling all my friends and family how much I needed this. I had to feel music vibrating beneath my feet, to hear everyone sing their favorite songs together—I needed a festival in my life. I was going… Read more »
Jax Anderson aka Flint Eastwood creates “pop music that never sleeps,” and she’s excited to bring it to a bunch of small venues for the next month.
Sleepy Kitty are an indie rock duo based out of St. Louis that are constantly putting a spin on music in new creative ways. idobi writer Alexa Gallo had the chance to sit down with the band during CMJ to discuss the festival, the band’s upcoming album Projection Room, and what it’s like to have your music synced to a laser light show.
When Casey announced their split at the tail-end of 2018, there was an expectation that we would never hear from them again. Putting to bed an emotional whirlwind of a five-year career, their music captured a particular intensity that many bands never even get close to achieving. Though following their instincts and allowing themselves to reconvene, 2022 signaled a new chapter for the five-piece. That started as a handful of shows at the beginning of 2023, alongside a pair of tracks in “Great Grief” and “Atone,” summing up the feelings of getting to know each other again. It has now… Read more »
With 2024 swiftly underway, a wave of eagerly-awaited new singles, albums, and more are poised to make their way into the heavy rotation of our go-to playlists sooner than we realize. Unlike the previous year when Fireworks dropped their new collection, Higher Lonely Power—their first full-length since 2014’s Oh, Common Life—on New Year’s Day, we’ve had a moment to decompress from the holiday madness before diving headfirst into the new release calendar marked by the turn of the new year. Ranging from long-awaited releases such as Neck Deep’s self-titled album and Ghost Atlas’ first new collection since 2017, to debut… Read more »

It’s that time of year when we all look back on the albums that served as the soundtrack to the last 12 months. With so many incredible releases in 2023, it was pretty tricky to narrow down our most beloved releases. idobi Radio had too many favorites to pack into one list, so today, we are unveiling our Best Albums Of 2023 Volume 1! We simply weren’t capable of ranking these albums. Instead, we chose to give them all equal praise and list them based on the release date. Additionally, this list does not include EPs or reimagined albums (those… Read more »
