Even if you find success on tour with the likes of Taylor Swift and My Chemical Romance and earn a Grammy nomination…you’ll never be able to avoid the annoying growing pains of being in your late teens and early 20s. This is exactly what GAYLE, aka 22-year-old Taylor Gayle Rutherfurd, explored in her official debut album Observing Chaos, out now via Atlantic Records. She explains, “I put out ‘abcdefu‘ and my life got completely turned upside down in the best ways. And while I was dealing with extremely unique circumstances, I was also going through things every teenage/young adult has gone through.”… Read more »
Rodeo are having a tough time letting go of the past in their new single, “Can’t Get Over You.” The track stands as the third taster from their upcoming EP, Talk About Love, set for release September 25 via Secret Friends Music Group. It follows the groovy and nostalgic bops, “HAD ENOUGH!” and “Shiver.” While “Can’t Get Over You” serves as the most somber in narrative, it offers arguably the most upbeat effort from Rodeo so far. The juxtaposition works well in this genre. Rodeo is reminiscent of acts like The Band Camino, The Wrecks, and Dreamers. They’ve got that… Read more »

The Linda Lindas are ready to launch their new record GOTTA GET OUT soon on August 28, and ahead of its release, they dropped by the Jimmy Kimmel Live studio to perform “Burning Out” for the live audience. Lucia de la Garza says of the song, “‘Burning Out’ felt so simultaneously new and nostalgic for us, and I think that was super fitting for me, especially because I had just graduated high school and I was feeling very surrounded by change.” The artist adds, “We went on a week-long writing retreat in Palm Springs less than a month after graduation, and that’s where… Read more »
Cage The Elephant is officially back in the studio working on new songs. But first…the group dropped an official music video for their recently released song “Beaches In Tennessee.” Vocalist Matt Shultz says, “‘Beaches In Tennessee’ is about wanting to be rescued from everything. Sonically, it took shape fairly quickly. We all fell in love with Brad’s guitar part, and we built the track from there. Personally, I felt good writing it. We’re presenting some heavy and dark subject matter in a lighthearted way, but the situation is no longer in the present tense, thankfully. It’s no secret that I… Read more »

At long last, talker has finally revealed her new album, Runaway Jane. And the wait was totally worth it. Featuring singles “Strangers,” “Truck,” “Happy Birthday,” and “Gold Rush,” the rising indie star offers a true breath of fresh air to all listeners. Raw, unbound, and unfiltered, talker runs (no pun intended) through themes of feeling like your roots aren’t firmly planted. Despite these feelings, she finds a true home in this sound, showcasing a bright confidence and coziness in her sonics. She shared with idobi Radio, “I feel so deeply connected to the world I’ve created. And I think that… Read more »
