IDLES

IDLES are a British band formed in Bristol in 2009, known for their raw, confrontational post-punk sound and visceral live shows. Led by the intense lyricism of frontman Joe Talbot, the band's music tackles themes of toxic masculinity, class struggle, and personal grief with both aggression and vulnerability. After honing their craft for years, they broke through with their acclaimed debut album 'Brutalism' in 2017. Their follow-up, 'Joy as an Act of Resistance', earned widespread recognition and a #Partisan Records# release, solidifying their status as one of modern punk's most vital and outspoken voices. Subsequent albums 'Ultra Mono', 'Crawler', and 'TANGK' have seen them achieve chart-topping success while continuing to evolve their sound.
