Background notes
Archive material and source history
Idles formed in Bristol in 2012 with Joe Talbot on vocals, Mark Bowen and Lee Kiernan on guitars, Adam Devonshire on bass, and Jon Beavis on drums. They built their following through DIY tours and local gigs before releasing their first album, Brutalism, in 2017. Their sound pulls from punk and post-punk, with driving guitar riffs and Talbot's confrontational vocal delivery.
They've released four studio albums, including Joy as an Act of Resistance in 2018 and Crawler in 2021.
Tracks like 'Television' and 'Divide and Conquer' show their ability to channel personal struggle into anthemic, cathartic music. The band's raw energy and commitment to their themes have resonated with listeners who find something genuine in their unpolished approach.
