Formed back in the autumn of 2005, The Idles knew what they wanted to do right from the very start. They, like others around them, were growing tired of the constant need of the media to tag bands with fancy little labels (nu-rave anyone!?). They’d heard enough of the whiney little indie boys in skinny jeans clogging up the airwaves saying nothing. I don’t really care if you had a fight outside a chip shop at the weekend mate. Oh, and please don’t ruin that guitar riff with a synthesiser…too late, they’ve done it. “What’s happened to all the good fuckin songs?” they asked themselves, “Where’s all the music that stays with you? That you can feel inside you, that keeps you awake at night because you can’t get it out of your head”. Let’s be honest, it’s great to have all these bands on the radio rather than another r’n’b girl group from America. But really, could any of them form the soundtrack to your life? I doubt it. That’s where The Idles step in. They bring nothing more than great, honest rock n roll tunes. Tunes where the guitar is once again king. Tunes that make you want to party, fight, dance and love, not necessarily in that order. It’s as simple as that. Give these boys a listen, go and see them live, they won’t let you down. They’re after the same things as you.
