Everyone loves when a surprise guest jumps out during a live performance and last night we got an absolutely iconic collaboration. Dave Grohl, famous for his work in both Foo Fighters and Nirvana, joined boygenius at the Hollywood Bowl on Halloween to bring fans a special live performance of their song, “Satanist“. Grohl was dressed in corspe make-up for the holiday, while Phoebe Bridgers, Julien Baker, and Lucy Dacus from boygenius were sporting various religious attire. Don’t worry, they also wore their famous school-boy outfits as well. Many fans were able to capture the moment on their phones, check out… Read more »
In a tasty follow-up to his sugary-sweet September release, “The Dead Come Talking,” Roe Kapara has unveiled his feel-good, dance-worthy new single, “Fajita!” Accompanied by a kitschy lyric video that features Kapara hidden beneath a brown paper bag with an exaggerated frowning face on the front, Kapara is seen dancing with abandon in a bed of tiny yellow flowers, only further enhancing the groovy new track. “Fajita!” exudes an enchanting, effervescent aura, particularly evident in the track’s chorus, where Kapara whimsically croons, “Too silly/I’m too goofy for your touch/I need it/Fills me up/$450 paid for dinner at the bar/Fajita/Burn my… Read more »
The horror genre has certainly made a mainstream comeback in recent years with the box office success of films like Hereditary, Nope, A Quiet Place, and M3GAN. A genre that ebbs and flows in popularity with the public, dominating decade’s like the 70’s and 80’s but falling short in the 90’s and early 2000’s, we are lucky to see it widely favored again. In the last five years or so, we have seen many new films hit theatres that are extremely unique and break through the mold of common horror expectations like Barbarian or X. We have also seen a… Read more »
In less than a month, blink-182 has hit it big with ONE MORE TIME… as the new album hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. According to Billboard, the LP started at “125,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending Oct. 26.” When sharing the news, blink-182 posted, “Thank you all for making this happen,” on Twitter/X.

If you could ask for any gift on your wedding day, and I really mean anything… would you ask for a personal performance from Taking Back Sunday? Well, for newlyweds Sammi and Adam Seman, their wishes came true. On Friday, October 27, the quartet arrived to a reception at Trout Lake in Pennsylvania, dressed up in matching burnt orange suits. (Taking some fashion inspo from their friends in The Maine, perhaps?) At first, the couple did not believe it was them. After all, wouldn’t most people have to take a pause to make sure a surprise like this was real?… Read more »

Here at idobi, we love artists who make a statement with their music. From Green Day’s American Idiot to Neck Deep’s The Peace And The Panic, music and lyrics remain a powerful outlet for bands to share their socio-political views and spark movements within their fanbases. YouTube star turned pop-punk act, NOAHFINNCE is speaking out on trans rights and calling out TERFs in his latest single, “scumbag.” Combining his unique blend of distorted guitars and Myspace-era synthesizers, the new song is a dynamic diss track that cleverly fights back against transphobia. With lyrics like “this inclusion delusion gender confusion/why are… Read more »

The group explore many genres across the record, including nods to early 2000’s… Read more »
The music industry can feel like a boxing match. Some days, you’re swinging with full strength, claiming every opportunity you can and being applauded by the public for your artistry. On other days, the crippling self-doubt that comes with grinding on the road and being on social media can knock you out faster than you came. This competitiveness, mixed with imposter syndrome, is a juxtaposition that the music business can make bands in the scene feel. These complex feelings are precisely what Jhariah’s new single, “Eat Your Friends,” is about. Featuring his friends and Baltimore natives in Pinkshift, the track… Read more »
