Remember When 3OH!3 and Benny Blanco Were on Silent Library Together?

As 3OH!3 gears up for their return to Warped Tour this summer and fall—appearing on all three weekends of the revived festival—Nat Motte and Sean Foreman took a detour down memory lane during their recent idobi Warped Radio interview. And not just any memory: Silent Library. The cult-favorite MTV series, a bizarre hybrid of Jackass and a study hall fever dream, famously challenged artists to perform absurd dares—all while staying silent in a “library” setting. For 3OH!3, the show was already on their radar thanks to its original Japanese incarnation. “Yeah, yeah, yeah, we had seen the Japanese version of… Read more »

Julia Wolf Unleashes Her “Most Honest” Song “Loser”

Following the breakout virality of her haunting alt-pop hit “In My Room” and its biting follow-up “Jennifer’s Body,” dark-pop auteur Julia Wolf returns with her rawest release yet—“Loser.” The single offers a third, striking preview of her forthcoming sophomore album Pressure, due out May 23 via AWAL. Where previous tracks leaned into eerie elegance and infectious hooks, “Loser” dials directly into emotional self-ruin. Built on a bed of slow-burning vulnerability and squealing guitar lines, “Loser” captures the psychological spiral of loving someone you don’t feel worthy of.
