Moody Joody refuses to settle for just an “Avergae Joe” on their new track, which is slated to appear on their highly anticipated debut album Plain Jane, due out on October 30 via Photo Finish Records. Triumphant and utterly relatable, “Average Joe” is preceded by singles, including “Fantasyland,” “Loretta’s Last Call,” and “Little Blue House.” Co-lead vocalist Kaitie Forbes says, “‘Average Joe’ has become one of my favorite moments on the album. It leans into the toxic cycles I went through in my twenties of falling for unavailable, performative men. Before I learned the signs of love bombing, and when… Read more »
XCOMM is giving new life to the hardcore punk genre one insane live performance at a time, and today they prove their vigor with their “Pirates” idobi Session. XCOMM is the most interesting new band to come out of the last year. Comprised of five members ranging in age from fourteen to twenty years old, you’d never be able to guess that unless you saw them. Even then, it only makes their talent and grit all the more impressive. The hardcore scene desperately needed new sounds, voices, and verve, and XCOMM is kicking the doors down with a new wave… Read more »
Best Ex, aka Mariel Loveland, just launched the title track for her forthcoming album, Good Girl, due out on November 6, via Iodine Recordings. Preceded by “Is This It?” and “Sick Of Myself,” “Good Girl” uniquely explores the boxes most women and girls are pushed down into through summery pop sonics. Loveland says, “It’s strange how often women are defined by who they belong to instead of who they are. We’re so often viewed through the lens of being someone’s daughter, wife, or mother, rather than simply existing as ourselves. I wanted to write a song that pushed back against that… 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 »

Olive Vox has been on an impressive run this year with their smashing singles “T.A.N.G.O.,” “14 Years,” “We Are Not The Same,” and viral hit, “BABYDOLL.” The latest tune, “Hear Me Out,” is setting the scene for what fans can expect from the upcoming EP. Speaking on the new track, Olive Vox share, “Hear Me Out” is about… Read more »
Following the releases of “Kissing In A Coffin,” “Obsessed,” and “Cherry Colored Sweater,” Lake Drive just dropped another hit with “Outta My Mind.” These melodies are perfect for blasting in the car…with the top down, if possible. The band says, “This is the first time I wrote from someone else’s perspective rather than my own. A dear friend of mine was dealing with a relationship that reminded me of one I had years prior, so I wrote the words to sort of help both of us heal.” They add, “With that being said, I still feel like it’s the most honest… Read more »
Zac Farro isn’t done with his Operator era. After releasing his dazzling solo record in 2025, he’s sharing a new version, Operator – Live In Studio, on July 17 via Congrats Records. And ahead of the LP release, he showcased the live version of the title track. Be prepared to be whisked away to an immersive, groovy world that only an exquisite artist like Farro could build. Farro says, “Translating ‘Operator’ to a live setting was a crucial part of sharing the album for me, I wanted every moment of the record to shine. There is nothing quite like the… Read more »
GAYLE is back and better than ever. The “abcdefu” singer just revealed that her debut full album, Observing Chaos, is arriving later in 2026. To kick off an exciting new album cycle, GAYLE, aka 22-year-old Taylor Gayle Rutherfurd, is blasting onto your playlist with “junebug!” today. The artist shares, “Everyone in my family’s birthdays are in June (including mine)… and duh, Pride Month! So every year the whole month is a continuous party. This song was made to withstand all things fun, exciting, and tiring. It’s for when you’re getting ready to go out, it’s on while you’re out doing… Read more »
KennyHoopla just dropped a song that is vital to add to your playlist. In a world that hasn’t learned anything from its past, the artist observes what life looks like to Gen Z in “NEW AMERICA//.” Additionally, he recruited The Strokes‘ Albert Hammond Jr. to offer his guitar skills to the track. KennyHoopla says, “At its core, ‘New America’ is a cynical play on words. Modern society sells us a vision of ‘newness,’ but underneath the fresh paint, America is just making the bed, but hiding the mess underneath it. History is being rebuilt with the exact same old bricks;… Read more »
