Petti Hendrix — “Die Alone”
For late nights while driving in the rain.
Petti Hendrix’s “Die Alone” is a perfect mix of alt-rock edge and punk energy as he dives into our deep existential fears. His raw vocals and intense sound make it impossible not to vibe with. Plus, the self-directed music video, shot against stunning natural backdrops, takes it to another level. If you’re into music that’s real and powerful, this one’s a must-hear. Fresh off his album Choose Life, this track is now in heavy rotation on idobi Radio. —Eddie Barella
luzer — “Suficiente”
For those who have had just about enough!
This Mexico City-based band is a shining star in our idobi playlist, along with this second single. The track is a raw, unfiltered dive into heartbreak and self-reflection. When the bridge breaks down, “Maybe I wasn’t enough/Maybe I wasn’t what you wanted” (Tal vez no fui lo suficiente /Tal vez no fui lo que tú quieres), get ready to polish up your Spanish skills because you’ll want to sing right along with them! Its unapologetic tone and emotional depth make it deeply relatable for anyone navigating love’s darker moments. —Sasha
senses — “me against me”
For anyone stuck in the loneliness of the winter months but daydreaming about the warmth of the summer sun hitting their cheeks in resolve.
Hopeless Records have found a diamond in the rough with senses. The duo—vocalist/guitarist Madison Taylor and drummer Nick Sampson—initially garnered attention in the pop-punk/emo/alt space on TikTok covering Chappell Roan’s “Pink Pony Club.” The pair’s latest single, “me against me,” is a stripped-down, introspective ballad that allows Taylor’s vocals to soar above the glistening instrumentation. If you weren’t lucky enough to discover this band while they were releasing covers, consider yourself lucky enough to discover their original tracks now. senses are poised to push beyond every boundary in their path. —Paige Owens
Bleed From Within — “In Place Of Your Halo”
For fans of Haggis or Braveheart but with breakdowns.
A breakdown with bagpipes?! It only seems fitting it would be Scotland’s finest metal band to pay an ode to the ol’ bag in one hell of an explosive way. This one will have the Loch Ness Monster starting circle pit tsunamis in the Scottish Highlands. A track off their newly announced album Zenith (out April 4, 2025), Bleed From Within brings us 3 minutes and 41 seconds of crushing riffs and unrelenting breakdowns that will have listeners headbanging along instantly on first listen. —Patrick Walford
$WAG NIGHTMARE/Carrington — “CLOWN SHOW”
For those who miss emo rap.
Emo SoundCloud rap was a very fun time, and the new $WAG NIGHTMARE is here to fill the void of the new songs we needed. Don’t act wild or like a clown, or you might get a song about you called “CLOWN SHOW.” —Fish
