Djo—the brainchild of actor, producer, and musician Joe Keery—has unveiled a hypnotic new single, “Potion,” just days ahead of their highly anticipated 12-track album The Crux, arriving this Friday. The upcoming release also includes standout tracks “Delete Ya” and “Basic Being Basic,” the latter of which Keery brought to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in a striking live performance earlier this year. “’Potion’ is like your favorite pair of blue jeans,” Keery shares. “I’d been working on Travis picking when I wrote this song, so it’s kind of like if Harry Nilsson and Lindsey Buckingham had a baby.” Djo… Read more »
Fairfield, Connecticut’s own Anxious is a force to be reckoned with. On their sophomore album, Bambi—out now via Run For Cover Records—the young East Coast quintet blends delicate emo sonics with blistering hardcore and sweltering pop-punk melodies. The 11-track record is nothing short of refreshing, an effortlessly timeless collection of songs. Partly inspired by Panic! at the Disco’s 2005 record A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out, Anxious offers exciting chaos and poised sentiments alike from their opening “Never Said” to the closer, “I’ll Be Around.” Currently on their massive headlining tour with Ultra Q and Stateside, idobi Radio had the… Read more »

It’s a bittersweet moment, but one we’ve known was coming. Sum 41 played their final show on March 30, but today, they offered fans one more parting gift. The pop-punk veterans dropped a “Radio Silence” music video. It contains moments of the band’s history and many adventures, flashing back to their days as scrappy, young newbies. Sum 41 noted on social media, “As the Sum quietly set Sunday night, we wanted to leave you with something special to show our appreciation for all of the love that you have shown us over the years.” Check out “Radio Silence” below and grab some… Read more »
It might be April Fools’ Day, but Build-A-Bear Workshop isn’t playing with their new April 1 drop. After teasing a new animal in March, the toy store officially shared that they are selling an Emo Axolotl toy. And sadly, it’s so real that it sold out almost immediately. The toy store took to social media saying, “UPDATE: ATTENTION EMO KIDS! This little Emo Axo is now sold out in both US and UK! We tried to play you for a fool… Don’t get all emotional on us, though. We might not actually be building a band, but we’ve built an… Read more »
Believe it or not, in April 2015, Sabrina Carpenter released her debut album Eyes Wide Open. (yes, she has been grinding in the music industry well before the launch of “Espresso.”) This isn’t the only important record released a decade ago. Notably, 2015 was the release year of some of the most iconic records in the alternative scene—from indie to pop-punk. These 2015 albums are turning 10 this April 2025, and we still can’t believe it. Tom DeLonge — To The Stars…Demos, Odds and Ends Released: April 21, 2015 via To The Stars After parting ways with blink-182 in January 2015,… Read more »
