Florida-based band 408 is back with an explosion of fiery pop-punk bangers. Generational, is a collection of songs you would find playing in the background of your favorite early-2000s coming-of-age movie. Including their beloved TikTok single, “We Don’t Get High Like We Used To,” the EP proves that they are more than content creators. They are artists in their own right, blending the goofy energy and relatable lyrics of blink-182. Their influence glimmers through every track. A standout track on the EP is “Carousel,” which highlights a surprisingly Midwest emo sound. It’s an emotional end to the project about being left… Read more »
The Dangerous Summer is taking part in New Music Friday with a reimagined rendition of their song “Fuck Them All.” Originally released on their EP All That Is Left Of The Blue Sky, the new version takes the form of a lively piano ballad. Incorporating the song’s original guitar swells and AJ Perdomo’s powerful vocal performance, the stripped-down arrangement gives the lyrics more space to shine. “Fuck Them All” is about saying goodbye to the negative voices around you and taking your moment when you can. Perdomo shares the reasoning behind wanting to reimagine this track, exclusively with idobi Radio. … Read more »

The pop-rock quartet is back with another smash. NOT.MY.WEEKEND’s latest single “SHUT.UP” is an angst-driven track about the difficulty of biting your tongue in certain situations. When you don’t know where your relationship is headed, it can be challenging to express how you really feel. Frontman Patrick Gilchrist’s unabashedly honest lyrics are paired with a full bodied arrangement that bridges the gap between the pop and alternative worlds. There are hints of the Jonas Brothers’ vocal melodies, mixed with the guitar tones and heavy-hitting drum fills of early Fall Out Boy and All-American Rejects. It is a compelling combination that… Read more »
Liquid Death is back at it again. The tongue-in-cheek water brand, known for its creative marketing strategies, just dropped the compilation of the summer. Greatest Hates Volume 3 is a 10-track collection of bangers with lyrics written entirely by the company’s internet haters. Juxtaposing their negative comments with 80s-inspired arrangements, the record is just as danceable as it is hilarious. Marking Liquid Death’s third Greatest Hates compilation record, the brand invited artists such as Mark McGrath of Sugar Ray, Frank Iero of My Chemical Romance, and Kayleigh Goldsworthy to bring their hate comments to life through song. Skateboarding icon Tony… Read more »
