letlive. Are Still A Movement For The People

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. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Travis Mills and Nick Gross of girlfriends Talk Warped Tour Legends and Lore

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. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Dexter and The Moonrocks – From Dive Bars to Warped Tour Stardom

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.

20 Years of Chroma with Cartel

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. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Cobra Starship Reignite the Party on Warped Tour

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!
