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.

After making a searing return with her first solo release in years—“POPSICLE”—a venom-laced anthem that marks a powerful reassertion of identity, rage, and creative control, Lilith Czar has dropped the Edgar Allan Poe-inspired video. From its opening lines (“You two-faced son of a bitch / You fucking make me sick”), she wastes no time reclaiming her voice, launching straight into a snarling chorus that reads like a warning: “Easy rocking bomb pop / Gonna make your heart stop.” “‘The Portrait’ video for ‘POPSICLE’ was inspired by Poe’s The Oval Portrait – a story about obsession and how it drains the… Read more »
