Eight years after the final performance, letlive. Is back—and they’re not just returning to the stage, they’re reigniting a movement. On this week's episode of idobi Warped Radio, longtime fan and friend Tori Kravitz sits down with the band for a conversation that's equal parts raw as it is reflective (with a running joke you won't forget: “fuck these drums”). Frontman Jason Aalon Butler gets candid about the time away from the band, the overwhelming nostalgia of reconnecting with longtime fans, and how the community made letlive. and never let them fade. From teaching the band to meditate, to diving headfirst into chaotic yet cathartic performances that often leave their drum sets in ruins, Butler opens up about the philosophy behind the band's notorious on-stage energy—the throughline of not only this interview but also of their entire ethos. The group dissects the spiritual and social experiment that is a letlive. show—an emotional release where no two performances are ever the same. 

Kravitz and the band also reflect on how letlive.’s message has carried across generations, with fans both new and lifelong rediscovering their art in an era where authenticity often takes a backseat to algorithms. They call out the commodification of art through corporate greed, the dehumanizing surprise-drop culture that has been perpetuated, and the magic that's lost when music becomes just content focused on streams, likes, clicks, swipes, and more.

Whether you've been screaming to their music since day one or you're just discovering the fury and beauty that lives in letlive., this episode taps into something that is timeless beyond the end of the group. Because with this band, it's never just a show but a moment captured in time. And yeah, someone's probably going to have to replace that drum kit at the end.

Warped Tour veterans' girlfriends—Nick Gross and Travis Mills—join Fish on idobi Warped Radio with stories, laughs, and a whole lot of nostalgia. From the magic of Warped 2012 with MOD SUN, G-Eazy, and MGK (“one of the best summers” of Travis’ life—then performing under the stage name T. Mills) to their first show together and touring the world since, the duo digs into what makes this project different from every other chapter of their careers.

They open up about connecting after years in the same music circles without ever crossing paths, how girlfriends began, and the wild ride from playing the main stage both Warped Tour weekends to sharing bills with Avril Lavigne, MGK, and MOD. Nick shares what it’s like balancing the band with the business side as part-owner of Big Noise, while Travis reflects on the shift from being a Warped hip-hop act to fronting a pop-punk band. And if anyone understands a busy schedule, it’s these two. But that’s what makes this work for them.

We talk about their new singles, the electric reception they’ve had live, and their dream Warped collabs—living or dead. Plus, you’ll hear behind-the-scenes moments with Goldfinger, the “mayor of Warped” John Feldmann, and the surprise guests who’ve joined them on stage. This is girlfriends in full force: honest, energetic, and ready for the next era, with a new album on the way.

This week on idobi Warped Radio, Peyton Grufik sits down with Dexter And The Moonrocks, the genre-defying quartet who coined their own lane with western space grunge. The band take us on a journey from their humble beginnings in Texas dive bars to their breakout hit “Couch” and the chart-dominating success of “Sad In Carolina” and “Ritalin.”

The band unpacks how their once modest goals—writing songs and paying the rent—snowballed into a full-time gig, fueled by a sonic blend of alt-country and grunge grit. They open up about personal lyrics, the fan-favorite track that still hits hardest, and why their Happy To Be Here EP marks a new chapter.

Plus, with their Warped Tour debut in Long Beach, the band reflects on the surreal full-circle moment and what it means to bring their modest attitude and crushing choruses to the pop-punk playground. From their viral Tyler Childers cover to dream collaborations and their ultimate mission to become “the best damn rock band in the world,” this is a can’t-miss episode for fans of unapologetic ambition.

On this episode of idobi Warped Radio, we sit down with Will Pugh of Cartel as the band celebrates the 20th anniversary of their iconic debut album, Chroma. Pugh takes us deep behind the scenes of the re-recording process, sharing why the band chose to completely reimagine the album rather than opt for a standard remaster. He opens up about revisiting certain lyrics and songs two decades later and the meaningful changes they made this time around.

We also dive into Cartel’s vault of old sessions and demos to find out if fans might hear any previously unreleased material in the near future. Pugh reflects on how different the re-recording experience was compared to the lightning-fast original sessions, which famously took just eight days, and whether the process added a sense of pressure to “follow up” Chroma all over again.

Later in the episode, Pugh discusses collaborating with Cassadee Pope (previously of Hey Monday) on re-recorded versions of “Q&A” and “Minstrel’s Prayer,” as well as the band’s conscious choice to mirror the original single rollout with “Honestly” and “Lucky St.” We look ahead to Cartel’s upcoming anniversary tour this fall, where they’ll share the stage with rising artists like Landon Conrath, HUNNY, and Macseal, and explore how these shows will differ from past album plays.

Finally, Pugh takes us back to the Vans Warped Tour in DC and Long Beach, where Cartel performed for the first time in nearly 20 years. He shares how it felt to reconnect with old friends and how revisiting Chroma has shaped the band’s future.

Cobra Starship is officially back and about to make their legendary return to Warped Tour—this time hitting the stage at Long Beach. On this episode of idobi Warped Radio, Gabe Saporta and Victoria Asher (aka Vicky-T) sit down with Peyton Grufik of idobi Radio to rewind the clock and relive the neon madness of their rise, one purple hoodie and keytar riff at a time.

From the moment online AI started claiming Cobra Starship’s name was inspired by Lilo & Stitch (Gabe confirms: he’s never seen it) to performing “One Night” at a party on 90210 (which Vicky had to remind Gabe of), the interview is packed with hilarious behind-the-scenes stories. The duo also dish on what it was like collaborating with Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester on “Good Girls Go Bad” and how Gabe ended up on the show himself in a brief cameo alongside Blake Lively. Plus, Vicky-T laughs about the label-directed remake of their “Guilty Pleasures” video, which the band took the opportunity to poke fun at.

Gabe and Vicky reflect on their first and only Warped Tour appearance in 2008, why they ended the band in 2015, and how it feels to be stepping back into the world of Cobra after nearly a decade away. Spoiler: It’s way more fun now. They talk candidly about growing pains, evolving lineups, and the way the music industry became less about community and more about competition.

Through it all, one thing is clear: Cobra Starship have brought the party back to life!

Andy Biersack (aka Andy Black) of Black Veil Brides joins idobi Warped Radio for a conversation that’s equal parts heart, chaos, and nostalgia. He reflects on attending his first Warped Tour in 2003 with his dad—just a 12-year-old kid camped out all day at one stage to see AFI, already dreaming of the day he'd play the legendary festival himself—and how that experience would go on to shape both his career and personal life. From falling in love with his now-wife Juliet Simms (aka Lilith Czar, whom he met on Warped), to literally throwing a poop bag off the tour bus at a group of fans by accident (yes, really), Andy shares it all.

In conversation with Brandy-Baye Robidoux, Andy opens up about growing up in the scene—from stepping on stage at 16 to returning to Warped Tour at 34—and how the tour became a turning point in understanding just how deeply his music resonated with fans. He opens up about the importance of lifting up new voices, how being bullied as a band shaped his ethos, and more.

Andy also lets us in on the things that shaped him: Sweeney Todd, Batman, and working alongside Juliet since day one. From breaking ribs onstage to breaking stereotypes off it, Andy Black proves once again he’s always been the real deal.

DE’WAYNE joins idobi Warped Radio for a raw, radiant, and deeply personal conversation that tracks his evolution from a wide-eyed 19-year-old taking a leap of faith to one of rock’s most exciting voices today. He opens up about leaving his hometown in Texas for Los Angeles with little more than a dream and a cheap laptop—an image captured in his oldest Instagram photo. From working in a restaurant to catching the attention of Lenny Kravitz, who called to tell him, “You’re up next in rock music,” this is the journey that’s reshaped the alt scene one song at a time.

We dive into his new album june—a bold step forward inspired by Talking Heads, Prince, and the electric chaos of life and love. DE’WAYNE unpacks the voice he’s finally found, the influence of his long-term partner WILLOW on the standout single “highway robbery.” He even teases a few surprises about the album that fans don’t know yet… but will soon.

We also talk Warped Tour. Though it’s his first time on the bill, DE’WAYNE reflects on the impact of the festival and what it means to step on that stage as a Black artist—redefining representation in a space that once lacked it.

This week on idobi Warped Radio, Kami Kehoe joins Brandy-Baye Robidoux (of Hopeless Records) to discuss her breakout year and genre diversity.

From blending R&B with rock to dragging drums through the streets for a viral TikTok video, Kami shares the wild ride behind her explosive single “Sleep When You’re Dead” and the accidental birth of her emotional new EP. She name-drops legends like Travis Barker, John Feldmann, Ekoh, Lzzy Hale, and Amy Lee—while reflecting on what it means to be a woman carving her space in modern rock.

LØLØ dives into her writing process—both for herself and with other artists—and how stepping into someone else’s creative brain can break writer’s block wide open. She talks about the song she just had to keep for herself (“u & the tin man”), her love for Taylor Swift, and the dream collaborations she’s still manifesting (Green Day, YUNGBLUD, and more).

From sneaking Easter eggs into her music and videos to building a Wizard Of Oz universe on her album and on stage—complete with a yellow brick road—LØLØ reveals how her favorite movies fuel her creativity (yes, she’s that girl who still checks the mailbox for a Hogwarts letter. Can you blame her?!)

The conversation covers everything from her Halloween stage outfits to shouting out icons like Avril Lavigne, Hilary Duff, Maggie Lindemann, and the legacy of Warped Tour acts like Simple Plan and New Found Glory—plus a moment of gratitude for being discovered by NFG’s Chad Gilbert.

LØLØ also gets candid about not being allowed to go to concerts as a kid (“Hi, Mom!”) and how surreal it is to now be part of the very scene she grew up idolizing. And yes—she’s ready to play “Hot Girls In Hell” on Warped Tour... even if she wrote a song called “Poser” just in case.

This week on idobi Warped Radio, TX2 storms the mic to talk about kicking egos to the curb, blowing up as an emo influencer, and turning self-doubt into a full-blown movement. From tackling the toxicity of the alternative scene to building a safe space for outcasts, TX2 gets real about the battles they’ve fought—and the ones they’re still taking on.

They dive into their mission to support the LGBTQIA+ community, name-drop heroes like Rage Against The Machine and Green Day, and explain why political music still matters. Plus, they dish on mixing rock and rap, their favorite collabs (From First To Last, Ice Nine Kills, and more), going viral on TikTok, meeting Sum 41, and why "they will not erase us" is more than a lyric—it's a war cry.

Oh, and there's talk of ass-kicking. Naturally.
