Cheers to the new episode idobi Warped Radio with genre-blurring disruptors People R Ugly! The four-piece joins Fish to talk chaos, controversy, and community as they gear up for their first Warped Tour appearance (can you believe they had never heard of the festival until they got their offer to play?!).

Let’s level with each other—the music in a movie can make or break the whole entire viewing experience.
