We all know YouTube is one of the most dangerous places on the Internet.

Your friendly neighborhood idobi staff is here to save you from that misery. We’ve done all the searching and incessant clicking for you to compile what we think are the coolest covers on YouTube of pop punk and alternative music.… Read more »

Hundredth will release the Resist EP on March 25th through Mediaskare Records and on limited edition vinyl from No Sleep Records. The EP is the companion piece to 2013’s Revolt EP. You can pre-order the vinyl here, CD here, and check out the track “Demons” below. On Resist, vocalist Chadwick Johnson stated, “Resist is much more melodic and at times more laid back, Revolt was fast and captured the dark and heavy parts of Hundredth. Thematically, Resist is more about the evolution of the Self whereas Revolt is more about collective consciousness.” httpvh://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACwzH9M8Qrs
The temperature outside the Skyway Theater the night of the Panic! At The Disco’s Minneapolis show was a frigid zero degrees with a wind chill plummeting into the negatives. But that didn’t stop the hardy concertgoers of the Upper Midwest from filing up the venue before the show even started – just in time for Brooklyn’s X Ambassadors and California’s The Colourist to ignite the frozen winter evening with a fire that didn’t die down until long after Panic!’s headlining set had ended.
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.
