This month, idobi is celebrating our awesome fans—you guys! But our staff writers have been known to embrace their inner super-fangirl from time to time, too. Whether it’s defacing public places with lyrics or dropping everything to fly to another country to see a favorite band play, we’ve all been superfans in our own way. In the spirit of Fanuary, we’ve decided to share a few times we let our music fandom shine.
If you’re ready for a brand new track from alt-pop band Dreamcatcher, we have good news for you. The quartet are premiering their latest song, “Perspective”, right here on idobi Radio!

Their résumé already includes a stint on Warped Tour and opening for bands such as Simple Plan and Neon Trees. idobi senior writer Catherine Yi caught up with guitarist Kyle Lane to discuss the new record, signing with a label, and finding success overseas.

Last week we published our official top albums of 2013 list, featuring everyone from The Wonder Years and Fall Out Boy to The 1975 and Vampire Weekend. Lots of complicated math and science were involved in calculating the final list, but we thought we’d let you have a look at all of our individual staff lists as well.
It seemed especially difficult to commit to our selection of top albums this year, but after laboring over it for what might be considered an unreasonable amount of time, we were finally able to narrow it down. Check out our top 10 albums of 2013!
