For Americans across the nation, this July 4th might not feel like one worth celebrating. In Trump’s first six months in office, he’s sent the military on U.S. citizens in Los Angeles. ICE arrests have broken innocent families apart, and in most cases, those being deported have no criminal record (or are actual American citizens). Countless pieces of legislation were introduced or passed that take direct aim at the LGBTQ+ community. Federal workers were laid off en masse, the genocide in Palestine rages on, and this is merely scratching the surface. Refer back, even further, to 2023 when SCOTUS overturned… Read more »
After teasing a big announcement on February 10, letlive. has officially confirmed that they’re embarking on an international farewell tour this year. Lead vocalist Jason Aalon Butler says, “I think this is all happening out of necessity. The boys and I have expressed our need to play letlive. music again based on where we are in our lives individually and how the collective spiritual theme between us has aligned. Also, if you’ll allow me to be presumptuous—I believe the world could use the ll.ove. Besides, soul punx never dies.” Additionally, guitarist Jean Nascimento shares, “We came from a time of… Read more »
Following yesterday’s massive announcements revealing Black Veil Brides and Avril Lavigne, the Vans Warped Tour 2025 lineup is rapidly shaping up to be an unforgettable return. Today, Warped Tour kicked off their expanding roster with the addition of the Plain White T’s. Plain White T’s is scheduled to perform at the Orlando stop in November. Possibly one of the biggest announcements of the festival’s return thus far is the addition of the Jason Aalon Butler-led letlive. The group has only performed at Warped Tour once in the past, and this will mark a massive return for the band. Additionally, the… Read more »
As we reflect on the unforgettable moments from this past weekend’s When We Were Young Fest in Las Vegas, NV, Pierce The Veil’s iconic third annual appearance stands out as a major highlight. The Vic Fuentes-led group turned their set into an iconic celebration of their 2012 breakthrough album Collide With The Sky, performing it in full and filling the stage with star power from across the scene. The group welcomed longtime friend and “King For A Day” collaborator Kellin Quinn of Sleeping With Sirens, as did Jason Aalon Butler of FEVER 333, who brought his intense energy to their… Read more »
FEVER 333 is back with a new single, “DESERT RAP,” from their forthcoming record DARKER WHITE due out on October 4. This 14-track LP includes previously released singles “NEW WEST ORDER,” “HIGHER POWER,” “NO HOSTAGES,” and “$WING.” Lead vocalist Jason Aalon Butler describes, “If you hope to be an instrument for change, you must remember to keep said instrument sharp. Fatigue will find you if you don’t find yourself first. On the micro and macro level, this song serves as a reminder that when trying to do right by the people remember you as a person as well.” Check out “DESERT RAP” below.… Read more »
The artists signed to Fearless Records have defined the alternative and heavy music scenes for three decades. That’s right—the iconic record label is turning 30 years old this year. Over the years, Fearless Records has been home to some of our favorite artists here at idobi Radio including I Prevail, Ice Nine Kills, Chase Atlantic, Movements, Pierce The Veil, and more. It’s safe to assume that Pierce The Veil‘s album Collide With The Sky is synonymous with the label’s legendary catalog. It is one of the band’s most impactful releases that defined the 2010s decade of emo music. The fan… Read more »

GHØSTKID has announced a new album, Hollywood Suicide, and dropped the first single from the record, “FSU.” The new full-length comes out on March 22 via Century Media Records, ahead of their upcoming spring tour with Black Veil Brides, Creeper, and Dark Divine. The post-hardcore act embodies an edgy and (positively) offensive realness that hasn’t been in the scene for a bit. Dramatic make-up, masks at times, but overall, they appear like varieties of the undead, especially in the music video for the new single. All of which makes GHØSTKID stand out as new proverours in the genre. Vocalist Sebastian… Read more »
