Greyson Zane doesn’t need your sympathy in his latest single, “Don’t Cry 4 Me.” Across the new track, the Floridian rocker collaborates with Magnolia Park’s Joshua Roberts, out via Zodhiac Records. It brings out 2010’s metalcore energy to the forefront with screams and an electro opening paired with rhythmic guitars and thudding bass. The track kicks off Zane’s New Year music arc after an eventful 2023. The lyrics tell the story of a love long gone that never took notice of your feelings. That’s evident in the catchy chorus, “I’d give anything to see your face/When You find out/So don’t… Read more »
Girl goes to the rock show to see a band. Boy on stage looks out into the crowd and sees the girl in the front row. They go on a date and fall in love. It’s every fan fiction story that every fangirl dreams of and that’s what happened to Kid Prexy. “I Think You’re Pretty” is the newest single from the pop-punk alternative artist that blends the nostalgic sounds of early 2000s music that everyone blasted during their summer drives with the modern emo twist that’s taken us all by storm. The track itself is a head-bopping anthem that… Read more »
With 2024 swiftly underway, a wave of eagerly-awaited new singles, albums, and more are poised to make their way into the heavy rotation of our go-to playlists sooner than we realize. Unlike the previous year when Fireworks dropped their new collection, Higher Lonely Power—their first full-length since 2014’s Oh, Common Life—on New Year’s Day, we’ve had a moment to decompress from the holiday madness before diving headfirst into the new release calendar marked by the turn of the new year. Ranging from long-awaited releases such as Neck Deep’s self-titled album and Ghost Atlas’ first new collection since 2017, to debut… Read more »
As the release of their third album, How To Disappear, looms, Casey has unleashed the contemplative ballad “Selah.” The aptly titled record marks the group’s full-length return following the announcement of their 2018 disbandment and is set to debut on January 12 via Hassle Records. The group’s latest effort showcases a shift toward a quieter, more introspective tone compared to the album’s previous previews: “Puncture Wounds To Heaven,” “How To Disappear,” and “Bite Through My Tongue.” Rather than having their post-hardcore roots prominently on display, “Selah” flourishes with melancholic percussion, moody guitar melodies, and vocalist Tom Weaver’s reflective delivery. At… Read more »
After trekking across the United States for dates on their whirlwind Sweet Sixteen Tour, The Maine is helping fans kick off a new year with a brand-new collaboration. The “thoughts i have while lying in bed” artists brought new life to a track from their 2023 self-titled record “leave in five” with help from MisterWives. Earlier in the week, the band teased the forthcoming collaboration, and a few fans figured out the feature ahead of its official release. Vocalist Mandy Lee offered her sultry, pop-tinged vocals to craft a refreshing twist to the dance-inducing indie chorus, melding flawlessly with John… Read more »

As The Fishmas Spectacular set out to celebrate 10 years of Gone Fishkin on idobi Radio—the official Gone Fishkin anniversary marked in November, which you can read about here—it was undeniably an evening that will go down in fishtory.

Chad Kowal began his life in music on the drums after receiving a drum kit from his parents. He was learning some of the trickiest songs around in the metalcore-glory days of the early 2010s, including many of my personal favorites: The Devil Wears Prada and A Day To Remember. This led to the formation of Farewell, My Love in 2011. A band who stopped by idobi Radio for a session back in 2016 and the project I met Chad with. By that time, he was no longer drumming but the primary songwriter and vocalist. That change happened back in… Read more »
