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.

Below, we’ve paired each of his partners with the album that best… Read more »

Marking her first solo release in several years, Lilith Czar returns with a vengeance on her explosive new track, “POPSICLE.” From the first brutal lines—“You two-faced son of a bitch/You fucking make me sick”—Czar leaves no room for misinterpretation. She tears through her frustrations before crashing into the snarling chorus: “Easy rocking bomb pop/Gonna make your heart stop.” In her own words, Czar describes “POPSICLE” as “The breaking point—the moment you stop shrinking, softening, and reshaping yourself into something that isn’t you just to fit someone else’s agenda. It’s a song for every person who’s been told their worth depends… Read more »

It seems like every major musical artist has found box-office success in the form of an Oscar-worthy biopic.
