It goes without saying that 2015 is going to be a massive year for music, but in between the obvious contenders for our most anticipated releases, there’s also a slew of up-and-coming talent that we’re keeping our eyes glued to this year.
Every music fan has a closet full of band tees — but how many can say they douse their lunch in a band’s branded hot sauce and eat it with a band’s branded plastic fork?
Sleeping With Sirens have signed to Epitaph Records, and they’ve released a new song, “Kick Me,” on the label’s YouTube channel.
Mayday Parade give a tasteful, pop-rock flair to Gotye’s unexpected indie-pop hit “Somebody That I Used to Know.”
Autumn is just around the corner, and that means one thing: it’s almost time to throw on your comfiest sweater and trade in the upbeat sunny anthems you’ve been singing the past four months for something a little more chilled out. It’s always fun to return to your usual favorites, but it’s even more exciting to add something unexpected to the playlist — which is why for this week’s Tuesday Ten, we asked our writers about ten songs they didn’t like until they heard them acoustic.

You know when Oscars season hits and suddenly it’s the only thing anyone can talk about? That’s how we feel about the first Gibson Brands Alternative Press Music Awards – Fueled by Monster Energy Drink. With less than two weeks left until the awards show makes its July 21st debut, at Cleveland’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, we’ve all been picking our favorites and placing our bets—which is exactly what this show is all about.
For a special edition of this week’s Tuesday Ten, our sister station idobi Howl brings you the top ten heavy acts to keep your eyes on.
An outspoken and instantly recognizable voice, letlive. frontman Jason Butler is reigniting the fire of modern punk rock with the band’s unequivocal message to the masses. One of music’s most unmistakably charismatic frontmen, the band has been tearing up stages across the country all year on Warped Tour and alongside bands like Every Time I Die and Bring Me The Horizon. idobi writers Alex Rudisill and Alexa Gallo spent some time with Jason at their appearance at South By So What?! to discuss the current state of music as well as his personal musical background.
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.
