Last week, the Bristol band’s sophomore album Joy as an Act of Resistance was nominated for the 2019 Mercury Prize. At Crack Magazine, we noted the album for its “heady, confusing rush of present-day fury,” describing it as “a record that bristles with the political and emotional energy of punk’s very best.”
IDLES are also gearing up for a sold out UK tour this December. The group will perform in Manchester, Leeds, Glasgow and at London’s Alexandra Palace.
