Here at idobi, we love artists who make a statement with their music. From Green Day’s American Idiot to Neck Deep’s The Peace And The Panic, music and lyrics remain a powerful outlet for bands to share their socio-political views and spark movements within their fanbases. YouTube star turned pop-punk act, NOAHFINNCE is speaking out on trans rights and calling out TERFs in his latest single, “scumbag.” Combining his unique blend of distorted guitars and Myspace-era synthesizers, the new song is a dynamic diss track that cleverly fights back against transphobia. With lyrics like “this inclusion delusion gender confusion/why are… Read more »
Everyone has that one song they hope to hear from their favorite band at a live show. Sometimes we get lucky and our favorite track is one of their hits, other times our favorite track isn’t as popular. Perhaps a b-side that rarely gets any love on the stage or a tune from an older album that hasn’t seen a spot in the setlist in years. A festival with a line-up as stacked as When We Were Young, there is potential for a load of surprises. Bands and artists tend to get a little weird as festivals. We crafted a… Read more »

The Dangerous Summer have released a deluxe version of their album ‘Coming Home’ featuring guest appearances from Pat Miranda & Max Bemis!
SOFT PLAY have made their big return with a song serving as a glorious clap back to those who criticised the band for changing their name.
Having teased his new song for three days, The Ready Set, aka Jordan Witzigreuter, is finally offering fans of his synth-pop sonics his brand-new single “ACT 2.” The experimental track is preceded by his new-era releases “Teammate” and “Who You Really Are,” which arrived earlier this year. Initially, the melody begins with a relaxed and optimistic guitar line and is then immediately charged with hyper-pop elements of digital beats and energetic synths. In true TRS fashion, we get to see the singer explore his sentimental, even romantic, side with myriad layered sounds ultimately keeping listeners engaged and enveloped in his… Read more »

He has worked with artists like Title Fight, Code Orange, Movements, and La Dispute. Wayside is the perfect new prospect for this echelon of production. They have created songs that feel ethereal because of their ability to blend soft shoegaze and intense post-hardcore. The… Read more »
For Americans across the nation, this July 4th might not feel like one worth celebrating. June 30, mere days ago, the Supreme Court of the United States made three major rulings, which, in short, overturned affirmative action, halted President Joe Biden’s plans to cancel student debt, and legalized discrimination against LGBTQIA+ individuals. Additionally, last year at this time, SCOTUS overturned Roe v. Wade, setting abortion rights back by decades. Refer back, even further, to 2020 to see the federal government’s botched response to the COVID-19 pandemic, unchecked police power used against marginalized communities, and more. So, truly, it is well… Read more »
