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.
Season two of Full Frontal closes out tonight with a Halloween special and guests Joel Madden (Good Charlotte/The Madden Brothers) and Michael Clifford (5 Seconds of Summer).
If you’re not kicking your feet and grinning ear to ear by the end of Michael Clifford’s new music video for “give me a break!” featuring Waterparks, then it clearly wasn’t made for you. The 5 Seconds Of Summer guitarist leans into the chaos, charm, and outrageousness of fan fiction on the collaborative track. “I’d been really wanting to create something unique with Awsten and Waterparks,” Clifford shares. “Awsten became my person that I would vent to about different things in life and I think that that’s the kind of the energy that this song has. It’s very authentic to… Read more »

From 2011 to 2014, there was one social media niche that defined the music taste for young people and became the go-to platform for tastemakers: Tumblr. It was the birthplace of the indie sleaze aesthetic, soft grunge teens in Dr. Martens, tights under denim shorts, oversized flannels, emo black and white photography, Jeffrey Campbell Litas, and American Apparel basics. Back then, we curated our blogs with the same precision required on today’s Instagram feeds. With this brooding, indie fashion look came an edgy side of music that was fully loaded with personality and grit. We relished in fan fiction and… Read more »
Pop-punk girlies, it’s a fabulous day to be alive. Meet Me @ The Altar has shared a live album recording from their show at Los Angeles’s famous KIA Forum via Fueled By Ramen. On Instagram, the trio shared, “About a year ago, we went on a life-changing tour with 5 Seconds Of Summer and played some of the biggest and most incredible venues in the US. It was such a formative and important time for us as a band. We wanted to be able to share this experience with all of you, especially those of you who weren’t able to… Read more »
