Our Take

IDLES has done it again with their latest album, Brutalism - a raw, in-your-face exploration of working-class grit and resilience. The Bristol-based band showcases their signature aggressive sound that hits you like a punch to the gut, but in the best way possible.

From the opening track "Heel/Heal", IDLES sets the tone for an unapologetically fierce listening experience. With Joe Talbot's snarling vocals and the thunderous drumming of Jon Beavis, each track on Brutalism is like a sonic sledgehammer to the senses.

Tracks like "Danny Nedelko" and "Television" delve into themes of immigration and media manipulation, while "Mother" and "1049 Gotho" pay homage to IDLES' punk rock roots. The band's energy is infectious, and it's impossible not to get swept up in the chaos and intensity of their music.

But what really sets IDLES apart is their ability to infuse their punk ethos with a sense of vulnerability and emotion. Tracks like "Divide & Conquer" and "Exeter" showcase Talbot's introspective lyrics, reminding us that beneath the anger and aggression, there is real heart and humanity.

In a music landscape increasingly dominated by polished pop and generic indie, IDLES offer a much-needed jolt of authenticity and rawness with Brutalism. It's a triumph of punk rock spirit and a reminder that sometimes, the most powerful music comes from a place of unbridled passion and honesty. Long live IDLES, the kings of modern punk.

IDLES

Ah, IDLES, the Bristol-based quintet that has been causing quite a stir in the music world. With their raw energy and unapologetic lyrics, these lads have managed to capture the hearts of critics and fans alike. Frontman Joe Talbot serves as the band's fearless leader, delivering powerful vocals with a side of cheeky banter. His stage presence is nothing short of electric, keeping audiences captivated from start to finish. The rest of the band - Mark Bowen, Lee Kiernan, Adam Devonshire, and Jon Beavis - provide the perfect backdrop for Talbot's earnest ramblings. Their tight-knit chemistry is evident in every note they play, creating a sound that is unmistakably IDLES. Their debut album, "Brutalism," catapulted them into the spotlight, earning them rave reviews and a dedicated following. Tracks like "Well Done" and "Mother" showcase their ability to mix punk sensibilities with heartfelt emotion, creating a truly unique sound. But it wasn't until their sophomore release, "Joy as an Act of Resistance," that they truly cemented their place in the music world. With songs like "Danny Nedelko" and "Danny Nedelko," they tackle important social issues with a fierce intensity that is impossible to ignore. In a sea of cookie-cutter bands, IDLES stand out as a beacon of authenticity and passion. Their music is a call to arms, urging listeners to embrace their flaws and stand up for what they believe in. So do yourself a favour and give IDLES a listen - you won't be disappointed.
