A week ago I found myself in the middle of a mad scramble. Bristol natives IDLES had just dropped their utterly disgusting debut album, Brutalism, and their show at the Moth Club in Hackney was utterly sold out, even to slow-poke press like me. I’d searched out their Facebook page, Twitter and their PR for a hot ticket – no joy.
For people like me who were too slow off the mark on the IDLES hype train, there is hope yet. The band have just announced an extension of their UK tour and will be taking their acerbic punk assault far and wide through spring. If you haven’t heard Brutalism yet, get on it. If you’re already well on board, catch them at one of the dates below:
