Partisan Records is a global independent record label that was born in Brooklyn, New York. With offices in New York, London, and LA, Partisan Records has established itself as a prominent player in the music industry. The label's President and Co-Founder, Tim Putnam, leads the team with passion and expertise. Partisan Records prides itself on discovering and promoting talented artists from various genres, making it a go-to destination for music lovers worldwide.

British heavy indie/punk band, IDLES, hails from Bristol, London, and Newport. With Joe Talbot on vocals, Mark Bowen on lead guitar and backing vocals, Lee Kiernan on rhythm guitar, Adam Devonshire on bass guitar and backing vocals, and Jon Beavis on drums; their unique sound has captivated audiences worldwide.

IDLES' music is a powerful blend of raw energy and thought-provoking lyrics. Their name is often stylized as IDLES to emphasize their rebellious spirit. Formed in [year], the band quickly gained recognition for their intense live performances and socially conscious themes.

Known for their unapologetic approach to addressing societal issues such as toxic masculinity, mental health stigma, and political unrest; IDLES have become a voice for the marginalized. Their music resonates with listeners who seek authenticity in an increasingly superficial world.

TANGK is the righteous and vibrant fifth album from madcap truth-seekers, IDLES. Pronounced “tank” with a whiff of the “g” - an onomatopoeic reference to the lashing way the band imagined their guitars sounding that has since grown into a sigil for living in love - the record is the band’s most ambitious and striking work yet. Where IDLES were once set on taking the world’s piss, squaring off with strong jaws against the perennially entitled, and exercising personal trauma in real time, they have arrived in this new act to offer the fruits of such perseverance: love, joy, and indeed gratitude for the mere opportunity of existence.

A radical sense of defiant empowerment radiates from TANGK, co-produced by Nigel Godrich, Kenny Beats, and IDLES guitarist Mark Bowen. Despite his reputation as an incendiary post-punk sparkplug, frontman Joe Talbot sings almost all the feelings inside these 10 songs with hard-earned soul, offering each lusty vow or solidarity plea as a bona fide pop song—that is, a thing for everyone to pass around and share, communal anthems intended for overcoming our grievance.

TANGK is a love album—open to anyone who requires something to shout out loud in order to fend off any encroaching sense of the void, now or forever.
