Our Take

Perhaps no other band encapsulates the defiant spirit of punk quite like IDLES. With their sophomore album "Joy As An Act Of Resistance," the Bristol quintet delivers a raucous and unapologetically honest record that punches you in the gut and leaves you wanting more.

From the opening track "Colossus," IDLES set the tone for what is to come - raw, visceral energy paired with poignant lyricism that cuts straight to the core. Tracks like "Danny Nedelko" and "Samaritans" tackle issues of toxic masculinity and immigration with a ferocity that is both refreshing and necessary in today's political climate.

Lead singer Joe Talbot's impassioned vocals demand attention, as he effortlessly shifts between tender vulnerability and guttural screams. The band's tight musicianship only serves to enhance the intensity of each track, creating a sonic experience that is both abrasive and cathartic.

But it's not all doom and gloom with IDLES - tracks like "Never Fight A Man With A Perm" and "Television" inject a dose of dark humor and wit into the mix, proving that even in the face of adversity, there is still room for joy and laughter.

"Joy As An Act Of Resistance" is a bold statement from a band unafraid to speak their minds and challenge the status quo. IDLES have once again proven themselves to be one of the most exciting and important bands in modern punk music. Do yourself a favor and give this album a listen - you won't regret it.

So do yourself a favour and give IDLES a listen - you won't be disappointed.
