It’s time to be thankful for those overcast days, because Massachusetts rock quintet Northernmost have just provided the perfect soundtrack, in the form of the acoustic version of “Cloudy”, which you can exclusively download for free right here on idobi. Vocalist/guitarist Jesse Field says of the song: “Cloudy is the most personal song I’ve ever written. It deals with family, sickness and expectations that you hold for yourself and that others hold for you. Honestly, it’s the first time I’ve ever been scared by the things I was singing. It made everything more real to have to write about it.… Read more »
(Un)covered is idobi’s exclusive take on the world’s best cover songs. “Runaway Baby” Writers: Bruno Mars, Brody Brown Original Release Date: February 15, 2012 I remember hearing his perfectly smooth vocals for the first time featured on Travie McCoy’s single “Billionaire.” Now, Bruno Mars is a household name and a prominent player in my pop music addiction. I’m still spinning “Uptown Funk.” This week, we’re looking back at a song from Mars’ debut album Doo Wops and Hooligans, “Runaway Baby.” Heavy on the bass line and snazzy vocals, Mars’s song is an upbeat, groovy kind of pop that will easily… Read more »

He’s in the middle of a busy day in New York City when I call. Right away, he’s upbeat, and not exactly what you’d expect given his online… Read more »
In the album Duality, Set It Off told us the gripping tales of their lives. Now, they’ve decided to take their stories one step further in their new EP Duality: Stories Unplugged. From the moment this EP begins, you will understand why the theatrical pop punk band has waited until this record to release an acoustic EP.
Three years and hundreds of workouts later, the leaders of the Don Broco Push Up Squad are back with their sophomore album, Automatic.

It’s been filled with good friends, new friends, old heroes that have become friends, and a lot of tequila. But, before the reunions, the hugs, and even before the tequila, I got to go to the grand opening of the Alternative Press Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum Exhibit. It was the single most humbling experience of my APMAs week, and I couldn’t be more proud of the promises it… Read more »
