Indie sleaze summer is alive and well in summer 2024 with help from London’s beloved Bloc Party. The indie-rockers surprised fans with their new single, “Flirting Again,” their first offering since 2022’s Alpha Games. The punchy, sonically unique single is utterly refreshing, and a welcome addition to this year’s indie playlists. Vocalist Kele Okereke says, “‘Flirting Again’ is about being thrust back into the scene and trying to remember how it all works. It’s about trying to appear desirable, whilst at the same time hiding the hurt that defines you.” Okereke continues, “We are all carrying around the various scars that… Read more »
There’s a time to be serious, and there’s a time for fun and games. Well, for Patrick Gilchrist—the charismatic vocalist of Not My Weekend—and Jared Gaines—the mastermind behind Rat Park, touring guitarist for Scary Kids Scaring Kids, and former Hopeless Records signee with his project Vaines—they never take life too seriously. In fact, they’re so laid back, they’re practically horizontal. As Los Angeles transplants grinding in the music industry, the two have partnered up with idobi Radio to exclusively launch their new show titled The Mean Time. Episodes are scheduled to air every Tuesday at 6 PM ET/3 PM PT,… Read more »

Vocalist David Bello says of the track, “The people in stories that get labeled as heroes are often brutal killers, capable of extreme greed and cruelty on behalf of their allies and their desires. This song tries to smudge historical… Read more »

The road can sometimes feel rocky, and there will always be criticism, hate comments, comparisons, and misperceptions. But it’s about turning those challenges into something honest and beautiful that will help break the glass ceiling. Nashville-based pop-punk songstress Taylor Acorn is cutting out the noise and writing about her journey as a female artist on her… Read more »
