Beauty School Dropout Releases Party Banger “On Your Lips”

Beauty School Dropout just dropped their first taste of music for 2025, and it was so worth the wait. “On Your Lips” has a divine mix of scene-era electronic flourishes, grunge-laced guitar melodies, and urgent pop-rock vocals. The band shares, “This song is our first big leap into a sound we’ve never harnessed before. It’s experimental, rhythmic, heavy, and fun all at the same time.” They add, “For us, it means maturing into our sound and showing we’re not the same kids we were when we started this project 5 years ago. For the fans, it’s meant to be a track they… Read more »

With their new album The Lash set to arrive on July 25, The Dirty Nil has released a taste of the record with their latest single, “Spider Dream.” “I woke up one morning, completely refreshed by a nightmare,” vocalist/guitarist Luke Bentham explains. “It was a strange feeling but enough to animate a song. I had also just watched the Beatles documentary that the Lord of the Rings fella made, so I was inspired to use more jangly chords than I usually do. It was a strange one to bring to the band but the arrangement came together instantly and it… Read more »

Remember When 3OH!3 and Benny Blanco Were on Silent Library Together?

As 3OH!3 gears up for their return to Warped Tour this summer and fall—appearing on all three weekends of the revived festival—Nat Motte and Sean Foreman took a detour down memory lane during their recent idobi Warped Radio interview. And not just any memory: Silent Library. The cult-favorite MTV series, a bizarre hybrid of Jackass and a study hall fever dream, famously challenged artists to perform absurd dares—all while staying silent in a “library” setting. For 3OH!3, the show was already on their radar thanks to its original Japanese incarnation. “Yeah, yeah, yeah, we had seen the Japanese version of… Read more »

Julia Wolf Unleashes Her “Most Honest” Song “Loser”

Following the breakout virality of her haunting alt-pop hit “In My Room” and its biting follow-up “Jennifer’s Body,” dark-pop auteur Julia Wolf returns with her rawest release yet—“Loser.” The single offers a third, striking preview of her forthcoming sophomore album Pressure, due out May 23 via AWAL. Where previous tracks leaned into eerie elegance and infectious hooks, “Loser” dials directly into emotional self-ruin. Built on a bed of slow-burning vulnerability and squealing guitar lines, “Loser” captures the psychological spiral of loving someone you don’t feel worthy of. Wolf’s vocals waver between restraint and desperation as she excavates insecurity in its… Read more »

Netflix You Characters If They Were Albums

With the final season of Netflix’s You causing quite a stir on the internet since its launch last Thursday, April 26, we’re putting our own spin on bidding the series farewell. Record spin, that is. The main character, Joe Goldberg, played by Penn Badgley, is a man of too-many-to-keep-track-of contradictions. Bookish yet brutal, romantic yet ruthless. Across five seasons of You, each of Joe’s love interests reveals a different shade of his psyche and a different version of deeply disturbing obsession. But what if we soundtracked their stories? Below, we’ve paired each of his partners with the album that best… Read more »
