The Riot grrrl movement began in the early 1990’s at the forefront of feminism, punk music, and political commentary. It was a genre built out of anger, frustration, and rage entirely crafted by badass women. These women aimed to express emotions considered acceptable for male songwriters at the time, but far less common for women. Growing out of the Pacific Northwest but quickly spreading across the country, acts like Bikini Kill and Sleater-Kinney paved the way for many bands to come in the future. Speaking on topics like sexual assault, domestic abuse, anarchism, and female empowerment, the movement was much… Read more »

When you think of Cher, what comes to mind? Often coined the “Goddess Of Pop,” images of her sparkly jumpsuits, and dazzling catalog of dance hits pop up.

The Baltimore-based hardcore outfit, Turnstile have decided to experiment in the world of pop-punk on their newest song. However, can it even really been coined a Turnstile song? The group created a totally fake new band called The Everything-You-Knows to release the song “Listening” via Netflix’s hit comedy series I Think You Should Leave.

Across the 10-track record, the band decided to shake things up and approach the collection with an audacious mindset.

The Legacy pop-rock band, Mayday Parade have gifted fans with a brand new song “More Like A Crash” today. Last night the group premiered the track right here on Idobi Radio for the very first time courtesy of taking over our “Fresh At Five”. The band whose discography is often coined as an “emotion” all in its own right has returned with another pull-at-your-heart-strings banger. The track is super upbeat, and certainly drives with catchy guitars and sing-along vocals, but remains very much in tune with the intense feelings a classic Mayday Parade song invokes. Guitarist, Alex Garcia shares on… Read more »
