      Honestly, KEXP brings a very different vibe to a lot of these more energetic bands' performances. Reminds me of Viet Cong/Preoccupations set. So much more tense. Also, Colossus's slower tempo here is interesting to see.

      @JohnDoe-dh8xc 5 років тому +229

      It's more so that punk grew to express much more than just contempt and frustration into much more varied and nuanced ideas. Which is a perfectly natural way for music to progress. Ever notice how easy it is for a punk band to seem one dimensionall whenthe one thing they're talking about is being angry at an authority figure? Punk was never just about being anti-government, it was about being raw and unfiltered and honest. That's why Idles works.

      Commenting a lil late, but is just what we need rn, punk has always been a whole movement seeking for justice, peace and love. Although it was with totally angry and heavy lyrics before, times are different now, and these guys are talking about the love, liberty and socially accepted communities, seeking for that justice, peace and love. Punk is not dead people... and it will never be!

    They are actually writing songs for our generation and our time. The lyrics are so empowering against all of the shit we're going through. We've been misplacing anger in all the wrong places and IDLES seem to be directing it towards the right places. Something I can and will get behind.

Last show sucked, not because of the band but the crowd being amazingly passive. Can't wait for the next time they come around, it's gonna be a very small venue so no safe spaces for critics and social media floggers to hide from the pit >:)

I felt like I was drowning and every day was one crippling panic attack after another. I still remember watching this at my desk at work and tears running down my face. The name of the album, the inspiration behind it, hearing the ‘we are not alone’, the energy, and the lyrics got me good. It made me feel less broken.

    We saw them the same day they filmed this. After filming this they drove up to Vancouver and did one of the best gigs ive ever seen. So much energy, and utterly captivating. Every song had the crown bouncing, which is saying something for a Vancouver crowd. Before the gig we bumped into Joe ( in Pats Pub on the Downtown Eastside ), who was having a sneaky pint with his Canadian family. He happily sat and chatted to my wife and i. What an absolute guy, what an absolute band. Tickets have been bought for Seattle next year!!! LONG LIVE IDLES.
