Chicago-based indie rock band Empires have just released their new song “Please Don’t Tell My Lover” off their upcoming EP How Good Does It Feel, which will be released on June 17 via Chop Shop/Island Records.
We’re excited to unveil another new column, Double Take. In this bi-weekly editorial, idobi writer Marina Oliver explores the subtle connections between two musical concepts from different moments in time, finding the threads that tie the two together. For the column’s debut, we delve into two quintessential summer albums that are musically different from one another but turn out to have a lot in common: Jack’s Mannequin’s Everything In Transit and The Antlers’ Burst Apart.
Waiting For The Dawn can go one of two ways: shuffled in with your summer CD collection to be blasted while driving down the highway, or excavated for a vastly deeper meaning. The album is conscientious in its commentary; always offering nuggets of wisdom and fresh ways to revamp your worldview for the brighter.
Frank Turner has released a new video for “Plain Sailing Weather” off his new record Tape Deck Heart, out on April 23rd.

Florida pop-punk outfit Against Me! is known for its raucous live shows and angst-filled lyrics, but with its fifth album White Crosses, due June 8 on Sire Records, the band is dipping into the past.
