Oh June, the best month of the year if you’re a queer person. Whether you are gay, lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, transgender, non-binary, intersex or anywhere in-between on the wide spectrum of the queer community, it is YOUR month. If you are new here, my name is Tate Logan and I am a transman that has been involved in the alternative music space since I was a kid. I’ve played in bands, toured the country, released albums and obsessed over all things music for basically my entire life. I host a show right here on idobi radio called Punk Goes Pride.… Read more »
Matchbox Twenty released their brand new album, Where The Light Goes this past Friday, May 26th via Atlantic Records. This is the fifth studio album by the group, and their first effort in over ten years. The band’s last release was North in 2012 but if you grew up in the early 2000’s, Matchbox Twenty owned radio play. With extremely successful tunes like “3AM“, “Unwell“, “Push” and “How Far We’ve Come“, the group is definitely a household name. Rob Thomas shared that the band didn’t want to force anything with this album. The album’s leading single, “Wild Dogs (Running in… Read more »
Mother’s Day is fast approaching, meaning it’s time to prep your brunches, order nice flowers, and make a sick playlist for your mom, grandma, older sister, and/or whoever had a hand in making you the rockstar you are today. While we can’t order an Edible Arrangement for you, we have handpicked our favorite tracks that honor all forms of motherhood and womanhood.

Sevendust has returned with their first new single, “Everything.” The latest release is the second single from the group’s forthcoming 14th full-length album, Truth Killer, following “Fence.” Both tracks set the tone for what promises to be an explosive record. Truth Killer will arrive via Napalm Records on July 28. “Everything” is a heavy, riff-driven song that showcases the band’s signature sound. Lajon Witherspoon‘s powerful vocals soar over the chugging guitars and pounding drums, delivering lyrics that are both raw and relatable. The chorus is particularly memorable, with Witherspoon belting out, “Don’t walk away from me/No, you’re my everything/Yeah, I… Read more »
Sumerian Record’s newest pop-rock outfit, Weathers have released their third studio album Are We Having Fun? today and it is surely an instant classic. Leading up to the release, the band dropped three banging singles.

Weathers have been a prominent band in the alternative space for quite some time, but appear to be at their absolute best with this release.
