About

IDLES are a British post-punk band from Bristol, formed in 2009, comprising vocalist Joe Talbot, guitarists Mark Bowen and Lee Kiernan, bassist Adam Devonshire and drummer Jon Beavis. They broke through internationally with Joy as an Act of Resistance (2018), which earned a Mercury Prize nomination, and have since placed two albums - Ultra Mono (2020) and TANGK (2024) - at number one on the UK Albums Chart. The band is known for politically charged lyrics, ferocious live shows and a devoted fanbase.
