The Beachland Ballroom

Idles, a self-proclaimed "angry band" in Bristol, Southwest England, takes the frustration of punk rock and waves it to a robust yet moody instrumental attack that meets the aggressive and focused challenge of his lyrics. Over time, as they discovered their tone, they tended to stay unknown, which changed in the public eye with the release of their debut album, Brutalism. Idles were formed in 2010 by vocalist Joe Talbot, lead guitarist Mark Bowen, rhythm guitarist Andy S, bassist Adam Devonshire, and drummer Jon Beavis.

Eager to take their music to an audience, Idles established a club night in Bristol they called Batcave, and through live work they developed a passionate local following. Idles released their EP debut, Welcome, in August 2012. The band self-funded their own recordings. Brutalism arrived at Bally Records in early 2017 and received universal praise. Since then, they also released a song, 'Divide & Conquer,' a bitter indictment of the budget cuts that had devastated the U.K. National Health Service. The third album, Ultra Mono, is due to be released in 2020. Guest artists such as Jehnny Beth, Warren Ellis, Jamie Cullum and Warren Ellis will be included.
