Not many hardcore bands, let alone any band, can say they’ve been around for nearly 20 years with no hiatus, but Bane can. This year the band will be releasing their final album Don’t Wait Up, on Equal Vision Records and plan to make 2015 their last year as a band. idobi writer Alexa Gallo sat down with singer Aaron Bedard at Today’s Mixtape Festival to talk the band’s legacy, upcoming album, and the changes that have occurred in the hardcore community over the years.
An outspoken and instantly recognizable voice, letlive. frontman Jason Butler is reigniting the fire of modern punk rock with the band’s unequivocal message to the masses. One of music’s most unmistakably charismatic frontmen, the band has been tearing up stages across the country all year on Warped Tour and alongside bands like Every Time I Die and Bring Me The Horizon. idobi writers Alex Rudisill and Alexa Gallo spent some time with Jason at their appearance at South By So What?! to discuss the current state of music as well as his personal musical background.
In this week’s Tuesday Ten, we talk about some of our favorite sonically unmistakable bands and what sets them apart in 2014’s flooded musical climate.
idobi writer Alex Rudisill caught up with vocalists Dave Stephens and Kyle Pavone to talk about approaching the ten-year milestone, how their writing style changed on their most recent record, their relentless work ethic, and much more.
