The alternative Australian music collab of your dreams is here. Stand Atlantic teamed up with Polaris to fuse metalcore and pop-punk in their new single “CRIMINAL” with a corresponding music video. The track is set to appear on Stand Atlantic‘s forthcoming record WAS HERE, due out August 23 via Hopeless Records. “’CRIMINAL’ is a small insight into how it can feel to be in this industry. It sometimes feels like you gotta keep your life a certain level of fucked up so you can make art that comes from a real place,” Stand Atlantic vocalist Bonnie Fraser says. “I found… Read more »
With seven full-length albums to their name and their music solidly, and rightfully, etched into the annals of rock history alongside emo/scene peers such as My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, and Dashboard Confessional, The Early November has returned with their most personal collection of songs yet. To mark the occasion, they’ve released a 10-track magnum opus as a self-titled album, more than 20 years into their career. In an in-depth interview with idobi Radio, founding members Ace Enders (vocalist/guitarist) and Jeff Kummer (drummer/percussionist) discuss why now was the right time to release a self-titled album, what’s next for The… Read more »
With anticipation building around the group’s forthcoming album, The Crucible Of Life, The Home Team has returned with their tug-on-your-heartstrings ballad, “Walk This World With Me.” “I personally have a really soft spot for ballads, but to be honest it was kind of a battle deciding whether or not to make one for this album,” vocalist Brian Butcher shares. “The softness isn’t always representative of our sound, but when the idea for this song’s chorus came to me, I was really driven to see it all the way to the end. It is definitely a spiritual successor to Slow Bloom’s… Read more »
Grab your Dramamine and buckle up. Calling All Captains has shared the music video for their new single, “Wallflower,” which marks the first track released from their upcoming EP, (e)motion sickness. The 6-track collection will be available on July 19 via New Damage Records. “‘Wallflower’ is a song about how hard it can be to be in a relationship or maintain friendships while dealing with depression,” vocalist Luc Gauthier shares.”The sentiment that ‘nothing could ever fix me’ while simultaneously looking for a reason to be happy is the exact juxtaposition of being comfortable in your sadness but knowing it can’t… Read more »
There aren’t many bands contending with The Killers for the widest breadth of sonic profile. Since the day that cage door opened, they’ve strayed worlds away from their grit-and-glam ethos of post-punk revival. The trek’s seen them over the washboard roads of heartland rock, through flashbangs of synth-driven pop, and the wildflower fields on the softer side of folk. And still, now 20 years removed from their Hot Fuss debut, they continue to fire off their early staples with the same love-scorned ferocity that had first lit the fuse. In celebration of the bi-decadal anniversary today, June 7, we reached… Read more »
Since the day “Misery Business” became the anthem of a generation, it became a cliche rite of passage for female pop-rock vocalists to be compared to Hayley Williams upon entering the pop-rock scene. Whether they truly resemble the neon-haired powerhouse or not, the inevitable comparisons are unrelenting. It is simultaneously flattering and frustrating as these artists strive to create identities of their own in a brutally competitive industry. If you are a fan of powerful vocalists and the unique flair of pop-rock, I implore you to listen to these 10 femme pop-rock artists of the modern era. Each one possesses… Read more »

Serving as their first new music in almost two years, A Day To Remember marks their momentous return with the explosive new single, “Feedback.” The bombastic track also marks the beginning of a new era for the post-hardcore giants, arriving ahead of their massive The Least Anticipated Album Tour, which kicks off next week on June 6 in Waite Park, MN. Racing across the fast-paced 2 minutes and 45 seconds of the track, “Feedback” is laced with a sense of urgency, quickly jolting into the chorus. As frontman Jeremy McKinnon belts, “If I wanna hear your feedback/Feedback/Feedback/I’ll let you know,”… Read more »
MOTHICA is back with the fourth track and music video from her upcoming record Kissing Death, “The Reaper.” The song is preceded by singles and accompanying music videos for “Curiosity Killed The Moth,” “Doomed,” and “Red.” Of her new LP, available August 23 via Heavy Heart Records, MOTHICA notes, “This is for the younger version of me who romanticized death for a decade, and the lasting impact it had on me as I searched for an easier, softer way to exist.” Aptly named “The Reaper,” the new music video sees MOTHICA partying in the club with death over her pop-rock hit. You… Read more »
Scene Queen is bringing a refreshing new twist to the phrase “Whips & Chains” on her new single. Rather than leaning into her sexually empowering side, the Hopeless Records artist has unleashed a revenge-themed banger that takes aim at men who think they can take advantage of women. “I wrote ‘Whips & Chains’ about the fear of being a woman at a bar,” Scene Queen explains in a press release. “The song is about a group of women coming together and fighting back against a man who spikes drinks. I really wanted to showcase my crazy side lyrically and go… Read more »
