illuminati hotties, aka producer extraordinaire Sarah Tudzin, released the title track from her highly-anticipated upcoming album POWER. Preceded by the single “Didn’t” featuring Cavetown, the full record is set to be released on August 23 via Hopeless Records. “‘Power’ is a reckoning with mortality,” Tudzin says. “It was the song I avoided writing every time I sat down with a guitar until it finally fell out of me. In it I’m asking over and over, how am I supposed to participate in earthly existence after the passing of my mom, who so selflessly gave me her confidence, who instilled my power? There is… Read more »
With the debut idobi Radio Summer School Tour kicking off in just a couple of days in Cleveland, OH, we invited Blake Coddington, the mastermind behind Letdown., into our North Hollywood Studios to play a little game we like to call Truth Or Darts. As if we didn’t already love Blake enough as it is, the very first question—what can’t you tour without—he reveals that he loves to take his adorable Frenchie, Bug, on the road with him when he can. “She’s been on almost every tour with me, and I really can’t live without her,” he sweetly shares before… Read more »
Following the massive success of their April single, “Medicate Me,” featuring the talent of Dayseeker vocalist Rory Rodriguez, Rain City Drive has unveiled their vulnerable new track, “Neverbloom.” “I wrote ‘Neverbloom’ about my dad who passed when I was 24,” vocalist Matt McAndrew candidly shares in a press release. “I find myself thinking how I wish he could see the things I’ve accomplished and the man that I’ve become. It’s about learning to live with the reality that he only got to see the beginning of my journey, the seeds I planted, but won’t see my flowers bloom.” Read more:… Read more »

Additionally, the duo has shared the latest glimpse of the album with their new single, “Heart-Shaped Soul.” “‘Heart-Shaped Soul’ was the first track we did with our friends Zach Jones, KJ Strock, and KANNER,” vocalist Julian Comeau shares. “It came together so naturally, we knew there was lightning in a bottle immediately. We are so immensely proud of this one, it’s got all of my favorite aspects of a Loveless song tied in a neat… Read more »
Following the release of the reflective single “Oil & Water,” issued earlier this year, PVRIS has teamed up with LIGHTS for the punchy, in-your-face new single “The Blob.” Additionally, PVRIS has announced the pending arrival of her new, female-centric project titled F.I.L.T.H. The mixtape will feature the previously launched “BURN THE WITCH” featuring Tommy Genesis and Alice Longyu Gao, as well as her recent collaboration with LIGHTS. “At its core, I just wanted to make a fun project full of some bad bitches in music that I love and create a space where we can express whatever we want and… Read more »
Despite all the territory they’ve covered in their near-thirty tenure, AFI retains an impressively conspicuous identity. It’s the Tim Burton condition in which, despite rejecting the confines of any categorical genre with each new release, they have an innate flair that renders them instantly recognizable. But that’s not to say that they exist outside the realm of reasonable comparison. We scoured the alternative underground to prove that point. And while we can’t promise the recreation of that first magical moment you first heard Sing The Sorrow, we did pluck a handful of new music recommendations from the AFI ethos. Representing… Read more »
With seven full-length albums to their name and their music solidly, and rightfully, etched into the annals of rock history alongside emo/scene peers such as My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, and Dashboard Confessional, The Early November has returned with their most personal collection of songs yet. To mark the occasion, they’ve released a 10-track magnum opus as a self-titled album, more than 20 years into their career. In an in-depth interview with idobi Radio, founding members Ace Enders (vocalist/guitarist) and Jeff Kummer (drummer/percussionist) discuss why now was the right time to release a self-titled album, what’s next for The… Read more »

There aren’t many bands contending with The Killers for the widest breadth of sonic profile. Since the day that cage door opened, they’ve strayed worlds away from their grit-and-glam ethos of post-punk revival. The trek’s seen them over the washboard roads of heartland rock, through flashbangs of synth-driven pop, and the wildflower fields on the softer side of folk. And still, now 20 years removed from their Hot Fuss debut, they continue to fire off their early staples with the same love-scorned ferocity that had first lit the fuse. In celebration of the bi-decadal anniversary today, June 7, we reached… Read more »
