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.

Brutalism was originally self-released in March 2017, surpassing expectations to become one of the decade’s most important debut albums. Beneath the surface of its aggressive, foreboding music and lyrics lies a level of confessional vulnerability and honesty that comfortably cemented it as an instant classic.&nbsp;In the 5 years since Brutalism's&nbsp;release, IDLES have gone on to achieve so much, including a number one album, sold out tours and festival headline appearances around the world. Its follow-up, Joy As an Act of Resistance, further springboarded the band into the UK (and beyond)'s consciousness and paved the way for the colossal Ultra Mono - the band’s first UK No. 1 album. Last year’s CRAWLER contained the buzz-saw urgency that their now global fanbase had come to expect, but expanded its sound with more melodic and introspective songs. At every step of the way the band have garnered a wealth of dedicated supporters - from the early breaks given to them by Steve Lamacq and BBC 6 Music, the independent live music circuit and the incredible AF Gang community.To celebrate, the band release a limited edition reissue of the debut studio album: Five Years of Brutalism. This reissue features alternative artwork designed by Joe Talbot, and is pressed on cherry red vinyl.
