About Idles

Idles emerged from Bristol in the early 2010s and broke through with their debut album Brutalism in 2017, a record that channelled grief, anger and honesty into something both abrasive and moving. They quickly built a passionate following through relentless touring and a reputation for shows that felt more like communal gatherings than conventional gigs. Their follow-up, Joy as an Act of Resistance, brought wider acclaim and a chart-topping presence, while later albums such as Ultra Mono and Crawler saw the band experiment with their sound while retaining their raw emotional core. Across their catalogue they have tackled subjects like masculinity, immigration, mental health and class, always with a sense of empathy underpinning the noise. On record they are compelling, but it is on stage where Idles have earned their most devoted reputation. Frontman Joe Talbot and the band are celebrated for the sheer energy, sincerity and connection they bring to a room, turning frustration into collective release and drawing new fans with every tour.
