There’s finally a chill in the air, and we all know what that means: Halloween is on its way. Whether you enjoy dressing up for parties or hosting a horror movie night from the comfort of your couch, there’s something for everyone to take part in. Better yet, there are plenty of alternative bands and artists that find their inspiration in the spooky season. This doesn’t mean that they are carving pumpkins or telling ghost stories. Many bands in our scene incorporate paranormal or horror imagery and themes into their releases. This can take the form of voodoo dolls (The… Read more »

blink-182’s official website is “closed for maintenance,” and for good reason. While you can still shop their merch and buy tickets to their upcoming shows, you might also run into their site’s stall page, which fans believe is a signifier of new music to come within the month. The stall page shows a video of someone in a yellow HAZMAT suit scrubbing away graffiti on the wall behind urinals. Slowly, but surely, the person wipes away various blink-182 logos, including their old-school bunny character and the iconic smiley face. Additionally, posters from the band’s most recent city stops in Chicago,… Read more »
Just a few years ago, Magnolia Park was an up-and-coming pop punk band from Florida making small but impactful waves in their local scene. It didn’t take a rocket scientist to see that the group was destined for success. They have it all: the music, the look, the passion, and the ability to connect and relate to a large community of like-minded individuals. They quickly became absolutely inescapable on TikTok and Reels. Their videos were going viral seemingly every day. It can be argued that the second verse of their track “10 For 10” was the first to hit incredible… Read more »
The pop-punk revival is back and better than ever. And Florida-based Magnolia Park has been leading this new era of the genre since their debut in 2019. Today, they are celebrating the release of not one, but two EPs entitled MoonEater and SoulEater, via Epitaph Records. Each release delves into different aspects of the band’s sound: the heavier, mosh-pit-inspiring side, and their synth-laced, pop-punk side. “Breathing,” the lead single off of MoonEater, features nothing,nowhere and showcases the group’s versatility by tapping into the arena-rock space. Vocalist Joshua Roberts’ soaring belt takes the song to a whole new level. Meanwhile, their… Read more »
Shallow Pools have become a scene favorite in the last year. From their recent signing with Equal Vision Records to their appearance on our very own Tate Logan’s Punk Goes Pride, the band is showing no signs of slowing down. Today, they announced their debut full-length, I Think About It All The Time, which drops October 13. To celebrate the news, Shallow Pools released their new single “Nightmare,” giving listeners a sneak peek into the record’s mature sound.

After more than a year sans a new release, ERRA, comprised of J.T. Cavey, Jesse Cash, Conor Hesse, Alex Ballew, and Clint Tustin, have unleashed their punishing new single and accompanying music video for “Pale Iris.” Cavey’s commanding growl takes you in a chokehold within seconds of the new track kicking in, his grip unyielding until Cash provides an ephemeral respite. Similar to their past releases, “Pale Iris” presents a profound, introspective narrative courtesy of Cash’s prolific songwriting. As the song progresses, ERRA skillfully integrates atmospheric elements with their signature metalcore prowess, creating a unique fusion of boisterous sound. Read… Read more »

All summer, grunge alt-pop sensation, Royal & the Serpent, has been creating heat waves on Fall Out Boy’s So Much For (Tour) Dust run. In an interview earlier this year with idobi’s Nick Major, the mastermind behind the project, Ryan Santiago, reveals, “I’m gonna start dropping two-ish songs at a time, put them on little—we’re gonna call them rat traps… We’re gonna do two songs a month and then eventually they’ll all form one big project.” And she has delivered. From the sensational RAT TRAP 1: the blueprint double-single “ASTROTURF” and “ONE NATION UNDERDOGS” package, that unknowingly transformed into a… Read more »
