Below it, you can see the years 2012-2022, though, duct tape covered in question marks covers the year 2022.

Cisco Adler recently visited the idobi Radio Studios to chat with Fish on Gone Fishkin about the recent reopening of his iconic venue, The Roxy, and the passions that drive him as both a businessman and a musician. He is joined by friend and collaborator Medford. The Roxy, a 50-year-old venue in a 100-year-old building, has recently been revamped—or should we say revAMPed—through the installation of a new sound system. Sound has been an incredibly important element of The Roxy throughout its existence. Cisco explains, “We did a partnership with JBL and Harmon on the sound for the 50th anniversary.… Read more »
Ben Quad has announced that they’ve inked a deal with Pure Noise Records and they’ve released their label debut single, “You’ll Get Nothing And Like It.” “It’s a song about the financial institutions created to keep us in a cycle of debt and dependency,” the band shares in a press release. “The track’s spoken line ‘You were made to throw away’ announces the main theme of the forthcoming record. We are disposable in the eyes of our protectors. Each of us is an ephemera (an item created purely to be used for a short time).” The punchy track, clocking in… Read more »
After sharing the news that Riot Fest would take place in Bridgeview, IL at SeatGeek Stadium, the festival has officially announced they’re returning to Douglass Park in the heart of Chicago. “If there was no Chicago, there’d be no Riot Fest. It grew out of an independent music community where one would be able to see Naked Raygun, Smashing Pumpkins, or Rise Against on a random Saturday night, and you’d still have enough time to go catch a late-night set at Legends and if lucky enough, maybe Buddy (Guy) would be there performing at his venue,” says founder Michael “Riot… Read more »
It’s a good day to be an Anthony Green fan! The Circa Survive frontman has released two new singles: the folky “Last Summer In America” and the twinkling “All Hours.” “I was walking around Europe a lot on the recent LS Dunes tour, and I found myself singing these words in this melody,” Green shares via Instagram. “I heard somebody say the ‘last summer in America’, but referring to how they were in America last summer, past tense.” He continues, “I started dreaming up the idea of writing a simple folk song about how we seem to be more inclined… Read more »
Following the release of 2024 glimmer rock releases “Beauty Queen” and “Fuck Me,” Vienna Vienna has returned with the beautifully heartbreaking “Best Of Me.” Marked with brutal honesty and soft acoustic guitar strums, listeners may get super duper into their feels. Don’t say we didn’t warn you! Vienna Vienna shares of the track, “Catch a glimmer and hold it like glass. ‘Best of Me’ is equally a self-imposed call for action as it is a cry for help. There are these moments in-between lying about your pain where you realize it might be on you.” The artist adds, “You can… Read more »
There’s nothing sweeter than waking up to a new Honey Revenge single! The rising alt-pop duo’s latest offering, “Medicine,” arrives today on their Retrovision deluxe album release. “‘Medicine’ is one I hold near and dear to my heart,” frontwoman Devin Papadol shares of the new release. “The concept is if I could bottle up how I feel on a really good day and save it for when I’m having a hard time emotionally, I would. It’s a sister to our songs ‘Habitual’ and ‘Favorite Song’ and probably the last track of its kind for Honey Revenge for a while.” In… Read more »
Ahead of their co-headline Australian tour kicking off later this month on August 9, Aussie darlings Between You & Me and Teenage Joans have teamed up for the thunderous new collaborative single, “1800-PAINLESS.” Of the collaboration, Between You & Me writes on their X account, “There are a lot of music collaborations being released, but it feels extremely special to be able to write a song from scratch with another artist that shares the same values.
