ICYMI – March 15, 2015


Kevin Lyman Did a TED Talk, So Listen Up I’ve been waiting for this for a very long time: Kevin Lyman gave a speech at TedxCPP and it was fantastic. The talk covered a bit of his early years and how he got into touring, but on a much more important note, he talked about the dangers that threaten festival culture. He discussed the different age groups and life changes. It’s a wonderful speech for people who are getting too old for things like Warped Tour and Cochella. Basically, you get to see, again, why Kevin Lyman is so fan-freaking-tastic.… Read more »

The Agonist  steps  their way from third to first in three weeks, a feat no other band has achieved in approximately six months of publishing a playlist.

But no, Travis deserves all the candy and flowers in the world for finally saying what we’ve all been thinking… Tom Delonge uses pro-tools and needs to grow a pair and quit. Beyond that, Travis’s interview with Alternative Nation was a thrilling, and exciting look into the future of Blink-182, hopefully with Matt Skiba, and what he’s doing on the side. I think this new Blink album is going to be one of their… Read more »

idobi Howl Featured Playlist – Week of March 2nd, 2015


We try to keep our featured tracks as hype-free as possible. Our playlist should  reflect the very best (and ideally, newest) metal and hardcore out there right now.  That’s why we waited for Stick To Your Guns‘ Disobedient release week to pass before we revisited the album for consideration at the top of our featured tracks. Sure enough, this album strikes the critical balance between fast hardcore and clean vocals that every melodic hardcore or metal band ultimately tries to achieve. Also worth praise is the minimal presence of samples that once preceded many tracks in older Stick To Your… Read more »
