For a special edition of this week’s Tuesday Ten, our sister station idobi Howl brings you the top ten heavy acts to keep your eyes on.
idobi editor Eleanor Grace caught up with La Dispute frontman Jordan Dreyer at the Toronto stop of the band’s North American tour for an in-depth chat about everything that went into their new record Rooms of the House, how they challenged themselves creatively this time around, and what they’ve learned over the past almost ten years of being a band.
Brian Marquis, former guitarist of Boston hardcore band Therefore I Am, has announced signing a deal with Equal Vision Records as a solo artist. Marquis will release his debut full-length album, Blood & Spirits, on May 13.
idobi writer Alexa Gallo had the chance to catch up with Jake Mcelfresh aka Front Porch Step at the Long Island stop of the Acoustic Basement Tour in late February. The two discussed the release of his album Aware, persevering as an acoustic act, and the will to explore other music endeavors.

Still, even with all of those reunions, there are still a handful of bands left who we wish would bless us with one last tour or some new music. Here are the top ten bands we wish we could see a reunion from – no matter how impossible our dreams may be.
Have Mercy and Daisyhead have teamed up to release a four song split EP via No Sleep Records on February 25th. Each band has released a song off the Split over at Purevolume, and you can hear those tracks below. On coming together for the split, the bands stated: “Before this split, to me, Have Mercy was just a band that helped me destroy my apartment at a party we threw on July 4th of 2013,” says Daisyhead’s Michael Roe. “When Chris mentioned us doing a split with them, I couldn’t help but laugh.
