As 3OH!3 gears up for their return to Warped Tour this summer and fall—appearing on all three weekends of the revived festival—Nat Motte and Sean Foreman took a detour down memory lane during their recent idobi Warped Radio interview. And not just any memory: Silent Library. The cult-favorite MTV series, a bizarre hybrid of Jackass and a study hall fever dream, famously challenged artists to perform absurd dares—all while staying silent in a “library” setting. For 3OH!3, the show was already on their radar thanks to its original Japanese incarnation. “Yeah, yeah, yeah, we had seen the Japanese version of… Read more »
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 »
Johnnie Guilbert and Sueco came together to maximize their joint slay with the new track, “Right Girl, Wrong Time.” The music video follows the singers through a Catholic church. Sueco even performs his part as a priest from the pulpit as Guilbert follows a faceless woman up to the roof of the church. At the end, the person is revealed to be Guilbert’s real-life partner, Grace Van Dien, aka Chrissy Cunningham from Stranger Things. Coming up soon, you can catch Guilbert in the UK on May 7 and 8, and in Chicago on May 10. Grab concert tickets here. “Right… Read more »
Following the breakout virality of her haunting alt-pop hit “In My Room” and its biting follow-up “Jennifer’s Body,” dark-pop auteur Julia Wolf returns with her rawest release yet—“Loser.” The single offers a third, striking preview of her forthcoming sophomore album Pressure, due out May 23 via AWAL. Where previous tracks leaned into eerie elegance and infectious hooks, “Loser” dials directly into emotional self-ruin. Built on a bed of slow-burning vulnerability and squealing guitar lines, “Loser” captures the psychological spiral of loving someone you don’t feel worthy of. Wolf’s vocals waver between restraint and desperation as she excavates insecurity in its… Read more »
In a scene that once prided itself on being a haven for the outcasts, the alternative community has lately been cracking under the weight of gatekeeping, toxicity, and performative pain.

With a thriving Discord server boasting over 50,000 members, TX2 is leading a movement in the alt space.

Following the release of their album Sweet, Mayday Parade kicked off their highly anticipated Three Cheers For 20 Years anniversary tour in April. On May 1, Mayday Parade hit a tour stop in Dallas, and this time, they brought out a special guest. “Thank you for the love and support that has carried us through 20 years,” Derek Sanders said. “When we started in 2005, there were six members of this band. The five of us you see onstage and Jason Lancaster.” They then invited up former Mayday Parade co-vocalist and Dallas resident Lancaster. He served in the band from… Read more »
What happens when a tortured God and a yearning human cross paths? Well, you get KiNG MALA’s new concept record And You Who Drowned in the Grief Of A Golden Thing.

In classic KiNG MALA fashion, she intertwines her own experiences and life observations into this classic tale to craft a truly unique piece. With her experimental alternative sonics, stunning visuals, and clever storytelling, KiNG Mala… Read more »
