Whether you loved 2023 or loathed it entirely, it’s time to say goodbye to this year and hello to a new one. Of course, it’s tradition to celebrate New Year’s Eve morphing into New Year’s Day donning sparkling dresses and numbered glasses that are trying too hard to look wearable. Plus, what holiday is complete without a bit of bubbly or fancy cocktails/mocktails? Aside from these New Year’s party additions, it is basically a necessity to watch the Times Square Ball Drop via Dick Clark’s Rockin’ New Year’s Eve special. Now hosted by Ryan Seacrest, this year’s 2024 musical special… Read more »
Fish said it best—ho ho, holy shit! 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. Yes, we’re filled with puns—it’s the holiday season! “10 years 1 month before The Fishmas Spectacular this year, I was in the bedroom I grew up in freaking out about to go on air for the first time as Gone Fishkin,” Fish shares of the holiday event. “To see some of the bands I… Read more »
Welcome back to our lovely second installment of the Best New Songs We Had On Repeat Throughout 2023! We’ve got incredible songs by artists like YUNGBLUD, The Story So Far, Daisy Grenade and more.

The Ready Set, aka Jordan Witzigreuter, returned with a new music video for recent track “Act 2” on December 8. The song comes from the artist’s October-released studio album Cherryland, which also features singles “Teammate,” “Who You Really Are,” and “Loose Change.” The new Ryan Blewett-directed music video features an energetic Witzigreuter dancing around a white room. Fans have shared their adoration for how the artist draws myriad parallels to his previous work “Disappearing Act” from 2016’s I Will Be Nothing Without Your Love between the music video setting and lyrical callbacks. Witzigreuter sings, “Still in the place you found… Read more »
Who can forget the thrill of unearthing new music during the wild era of illegal downloads on Limewire or Frostwire? Or the excitement of tirelessly page hopping across Myspace profiles only to stop once you’d stumbled upon who you were certain would be the next greatest underground artist? Ahh, the good ‘ole days, a golden period. Fortunately, discovering new music isn’t as challenging these days. Especially with idobi Radio by your side *wink wink*. Somewhere in the depths of a muggy basement or a beatdown garage, the next greatest artist is crafting, writing, and recording—chronicling the soundtrack of the next… Read more »

Well, for fans of idobi Radio and our charismatic host, Fish, we have the privilege of pinpointing that moment precisely.

In this exclusive interview with Fish to celebrate a decade (not entirely under the… Read more »
The Queen of Pop hath spoken. Or at least she did. In an all-new interview with idobi Radio’s Gunz for The Gunz Show, special guest Tyson Ritter of The All-American Rejects and Now More Than Ever sat down to discuss AAR’s storied career, extensive discography, and more. During the interview where the pair sat down in Nashville, TN, to chat, Gunz thoughtfully questions Ritter, “What song do you wish made it bigger or people loved it more than it got the attention or recognition for that you’ve written?” As Ritter drifts into the recesses of his memory of AAR’s catalog… Read more »
Sloppy Jane has unveiled a soul-stirring rendition of My Chemical Romance’s 2006 fan-favorite, “Cancer,” enriched with additional strings and haunting backing vocals that weave an exaggerated anguish through the track.

While faithfully capturing the heart-rendering and profound essence of the original,… Read more »
The horror genre has certainly made a mainstream comeback in recent years with the box office success of films like Hereditary, Nope, A Quiet Place, and M3GAN. A genre that ebbs and flows in popularity with the public, dominating decade’s like the 70’s and 80’s but falling short in the 90’s and early 2000’s, we are lucky to see it widely favored again. In the last five years or so, we have seen many new films hit theatres that are extremely unique and break through the mold of common horror expectations like Barbarian or X. We have also seen a… Read more »
