Twenty One Pilots Debuted At Number One And My Heart Is Soaring Last week Twenty One Pilots released their second full-length album, Blurryface, which I have not stopped listening to, and they also became the second band from our scene this year to have a number one album (debuting as number one on Billboard). It’s hard to find two dudes more deserving of that honor than Tyler and Josh, who when they found out, took to the internet to completely dedicate their success to their fans and their skeletonclique. As someone who grew up in Ohio, I couldn’t be more… Read more »
Excuse the Emo Revival, But Acceptance Released a New Song If you’re a newby in this scene, the name Acceptance might not ring too many bells for you. You might have heard them on “Outlines” on All Time Low’s 2012 LP Don’t Panic. But, what you should know is that these guys released one of the best albums ever, Phantoms. It was their only full-length release, and one that marked the first generation of underground pop-punk/emo breaching the mainstream wall. Dig around for a song called “So Contagious”, because it’s perfect and probably familiar. And now, after 10 years they… Read more »
The Selfie Sticks Have Been Banned From More Music Festivities A couple of months ago I told you about a venue in the U.K. banning selfie sticks. Well, it just got better. Both Coachella and Lollapalooza have now also banned the death sticks that people use to take selfies with (side note: I totally wasn’t using one at the Grand Canyon last weekend or anything…) Anyway, this is a VERY good thing. Music festivals often involve an abundance of of alcohol, crazy people, and unmentionables with medical cards that validate their “back problems”. We don’t need to add metal poles… Read more »

What better way to kick off a weekend than with new music? Featuring new tracks from 5 Seconds of Summer, Girlfriends, LIGHTS, and more.
I spoke with my buddy Derek of STATE CHAMPS in an in-depth interview regarding wrapping up the Future Hearts Tour, talking about the new upcoming full length and when it will be released this year, as well as touring with our favorite Aussie’s 5 Seconds of Summer.
One could argue that Blink 182 define the pop punk genre. This week’s (Un)covered looks at a cover of their dark but romantic “I Miss You” by the pop punk/boy band 5 Seconds of Summer, who put a surprisingly enjoyable spin on their acoustic version.
I was honored enough to speak with a person who has pretty much been a part of some of the biggest pop punk hits and albums that this, “Scene,” has seen in the past 10 years + .
John Feldmann, lead singer of ska-punk heroes Goldfinger, called into The Gunz Show to talk about his producing of the +1 album in the world, 5 Seconds of Summer’s self-titled album. He addresses the critics of 5SOS from the ever-so-intelligent trolls on the Internet, and has an idea for what they can do to themselves.
idobi managing editor Eleanor Grace caught up with Handguns guitarists Brandon Pagano and Kyle Vaught at the Toronto date to talk about the Common Vision Tour, the band’s new record, the over-politicization of pop punk, and a shocking amount of discussion on 5 Seconds Of Summer and GWAR.
