It’s no question that late night drives are best accompanied by great music, but sometimes choosing the playlist to fit the mood you’re in when you’re alone with your thoughts can be difficult. This week we’ve compiled some of our favorite albums to play on those long, nighttime drives when you’re feeling especially introspective.
An outspoken and instantly recognizable voice, letlive. frontman Jason Butler is reigniting the fire of modern punk rock with the band’s unequivocal message to the masses. One of music’s most unmistakably charismatic frontmen, the band has been tearing up stages across the country all year on Warped Tour and alongside bands like Every Time I Die and Bring Me The Horizon. idobi writers Alex Rudisill and Alexa Gallo spent some time with Jason at their appearance at South By So What?! to discuss the current state of music as well as his personal musical background.
The Deep End feels like an amalgamation of every current trend in pop and electronic music, but while the album is no doubt entertaining, it leaves you unsure of Itch’s intentions.
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.
Canada’s most formidable hardcore band, Comeback Kid have been around the block quite a few times. The band is taking over 2014 with the newly released Die Knowing and a whole mess of touring planned for the rest of the year. idobi writer Alex Rudisill sat down with vocalist Andrew Neufeld to discuss the band’s roots, the next generation, and traveling the world.

Having recently wrapped up Memphis May Fire’s Unconditional Tour, veterans A Skylit Drive are back and better than ever. Their newest record Rise is the most successful release in both the band’s and label Tragic Hero Records’ history. Vocalist Michael Jagmin sat down with idobi writer Alex Rudisill as the tour came to a close to discuss the band’s latest endeavors.
