Born out of high school marching band friendships in Dayton, they’ve grown into a powerhouse five-piece blending classic emo influences with a modern twist. From opening Is For Lovers festivals alongside Jimmy Eat World and Hawthorne Heights to fans shouting back every word of “Waterwell,” Life in Idle proves that Midwest emo is alive, loud, and here to stay.
