Artist Biography
Available in: gb icon
IDLES are a powerhouse in the punk rock scene, hailing from Bristol, UK. Known for their intense energy and raw lyrical honesty, they bring a refreshing twist to punk music, blending elements of post-punk and art rock. Since forming in 2009, IDLES have consistently pushed the boundaries of the genre with their confrontational sound and politically charged lyrics.

Their music is a cathartic exploration of societal issues, personal grief, and a defiant rejection of the traditional punk ethos. Starting with their debut album "Brutalism" in 2017, IDLES quickly gained a reputation for their fierce live performances and community-minded approach. Their subsequent albums, including "Joy as an Act of Resistance" and "Ultra Mono," have deepened their exploration of vulnerability and masculinity, backed by relentless rhythms and abrasive guitars.

The latest album, "TANGK," released in 2024, showcases the band's evolution with tracks that feature a mix of hard-hitting punk energy and inventive soundscapes. Produced by notable figures like Kenny Beats and Nigel Godrich, the album offers a sophisticated punk experience that is both introspective and explosive.

IDLES' music isn't just heard; it's felt—a visceral punch to the senses, perfect for those who appreciate music that combines emotional depth with aggressive soundscapes. Whether through Joe Talbot’s incisive lyrics or the band’s compelling dynamics, IDLES deliver a powerful message of resistance and empowerment. Their ongoing world tour brings this ferocity to the stage, offering a live experience that is both chaotic and unifying.
