Even if you’re convinced that a band changing their sound is the worst thing that’s ever happened to you, it’s perfectly natural for someone’s music to develop and shift from album to album. But every once in a while, those shifts are so dramatic that the early work ends up sounding like it was released by an entirely different band than the more recent material.
In this week’s Tuesday Ten, we’re exploring the connections between some of our favorite bands named after lyrics and the songs they’re titled for.
idobi managing editor Eleanor Grace checked in with Nick Santino at the Toronto date of this summer’s Vans Warped Tour to talk about going solo, his former band A Rocket To The Moon’s beginnings and eventual end, the importance of fan connection, and much more.
idobi writer Alexa Gallo sat down with Chad Moses from To Write Love On Her Arms at South By So What to find out more about the organization, expand on their Fears vs. Dreams campaign, and how you can get involved.
idobi writer Alex Rudisill caught up with vocalists Dave Stephens and Kyle Pavone to talk about approaching the ten-year milestone, how their writing style changed on their most recent record, their relentless work ethic, and much more.
2013 was the year of the reunion, with everyone from Fall Out Boy to Knapsack teaming back up with their old bandmates, whether it was for a one-off anniversary tour or a full-blown comeback. Still, even with all of those reunions, there are still a handful of bands left who we wish would bless us with one last tour or some new music. Here are the top ten bands we wish we could see a reunion from – no matter how impossible our dreams may be.
Liferuiner have decided to abandon their ties with old tracks like “A Ticket To The Pussy Crusher†and are trying to write honest, optimistic, and influential songs using key ingredients of melodic metalcore and straightedge hardcore: detuned guitars, predictable breakdowns, and lyrics pertaining to life’s inevitable struggles, hardships, and misery.
He Is We vocalist Rachel Taylor will no longer be able to tour due to medical conditions. She will remain a member of the band and the group will bring in a touring vocalist to be announced shortly.
