IDLES - Brutalism

In a time of polarized politics and murky waters, Idles and bands like them are needed to remind people that it's ok to dance and laugh and sing in the face of adversity. Bristol's finest post-punk polemics Idles have been promising to do great things for some time now, and with their 2017 debut album Brutalism they absolutely fulfilled that promise, and a furious promise at that. Politically charged, refreshingly confrontational and infectiously volatile, Idles are a band like no other. Bringing the unsettling reality of the world we live in into their frantic assault on the senses, Brutalism perfectly encapsulates the intensity of their live sound.
