Background notes
Archive material and source history
Idealism formed in Los Angeles in 1990 with Ethan Foster on vocals and guitar, Jake Carter on bass, and Emily Stone on drums. Their 1993 album 'Someone New' gave them their biggest hit with the title track, which became a global success. The band's lyrics often touched on social issues and personal struggles, which sometimes drew criticism for being too political.
Foster's public battles with addiction and mental health created challenges for the group during their peak years. Their 1996 album 'Departure' showed a more experimental side, while 2000's 'Redemption' marked a return to their earlier sound. The song 'Sweven' also appears among their notable tracks.
