This week on idobi Warped Radio, TX2 storms the mic to talk about kicking egos to the curb, blowing up as an emo influencer, and turning self-doubt into a full-blown movement. From tackling the toxicity of the alternative scene to building a safe space for outcasts, TX2 gets real about the battles they’ve fought—and the ones they’re still taking on.
They dive into their mission to support the LGBTQIA+ community, name-drop heroes like Rage Against The Machine and Green Day, and explain why political music still matters. Plus, they dish on mixing rock and rap, their favorite collabs (From First To Last, Ice Nine Kills, and more), going viral on TikTok, meeting Sum 41, and why “they will not erase us” is more than a lyric—it’s a war cry.
Oh, and there’s talk of ass-kicking. Naturally.

Below, we’ve paired each of his partners with the album that best… Read more »

Following Blind Channel’s announcement of an indefinite hiatus in fall 2024, the band shared, “During the last four years, we have experienced more than we could’ve ever dreamed of. After two full-length studio albums and 300 shows all over the world, it’s time to blow the candle out before it burns from both ends. We’ve decided to go on a break after the end of 2024.
