What We Think: How Pretty is The Maine’s New Video?
Today, The Maine released a video furthering the belief that if the music industry were a game of superheroes and villains, they’d be Batman.

Today, The Maine released a video furthering the belief that if the music industry were a game of superheroes and villains, they’d be Batman.
Riffy, grungy, raw, genuine; these are only some of the words that come to mind when trying to describe The Word Alive’s fourth studio album, Dark Matter. But they fail to do justice to what may very well be their strongest release to date.
Last year saw the start of Susiepalooza, a day of kickass music in the name of a great cause. Created in the memory of Sue Marchetti, the show benefits The Lustgarten Foundation, a charity that fights pancreatic cancer.
Geek Girl Riot’s Day Al-Mohamed brings us a Sixty-Second Secret, all about the original appearance of Supergirl.
A moniker based off of the French word for “dream”, and five years spent crafting a special brand of indie rock, has brought us ECHOREV. Today, the band is premiering their latest track, “D.O.L.” here on idobi.com.
The Grammy Awards were started when Hollywood producers realized that many musicians weren’t getting the recognition that would land them on the Walk of Fame in the form of a star. Today, it’s one of the biggest award ceremonies in the world. Maybe even in the whole universe. Alien Grammys got nothing on us.
Through our time touring we’ve been around the country multiple times, been to every city you could think of, but every time we roll into Charleston, SC, it’s always a special occasion.
This month, idobi is celebrating our awesome fans—you guys! But our staff writers have been known to embrace their inner super-fangirl from time to time, too. Whether it’s defacing public places with lyrics or dropping everything to fly to another country to see a favorite band play, we’ve all been superfans in our own way. In the spirit of Fanuary, we’ve decided to share a few times we let our music fandom shine.
There are so many times people bring us cool shit like cakes or cookies with our names on or our album artwork. There’s a few girls, I think from Southampton, that always bring me gingerbread men because they know they’re my favorite, even if they do give them to me after the show once they’re melted and a pile of crumbs it’s still awesome.
Manchester’s The 1975 aren’t known for common sounds, but on their latest release I like it when you sleep, for you are so beautiful yet so unaware of it they take that to another level. Employing a myriad of genres should make for chaos, but their shared dreamy indie-electronic undertones give the album a united front. Maybe it’s a mess, but it’s a well done one.
