Understanding IDLES: LOSS into LOVE

- Love is the fing. IDLES are a punk rock revolution. Their first two albums, Brutalism and Joy as an Act of Resistance, launched them into stardom. How does Joe Talbot and the band turn subjects of loss and devastation into anthems of self-love and community? This video essay will explore just that. Their brand new album TANGK is out now.

Did you know IDLES inspired the brilliant Wet Leg to start a band? Check out my new video, 'Understanding WET LEG: ROCK but FUN'

i'm 56 years old, i think, and i just got turned onto them last year in honestly the strangest way.
they were on the tonight show w/ jimmy fallon.
blew me away.
their videos are on a completely different level that i just can not comprehend. just the sheer beauty.
the long video of them playing a wedding...........DOPE AF
Love is the fing ❤
I’m not a fan of punk or post-punk,but Idles has me hooked. A friend said they saw them live and it blew them away, and they’d never heard of them. So I opened my damned mind and gave a listen. Mind opened.
Well done for taking the plunge! Welcome to the beautiful world of IDLES. Has it inspired you to seek out more punk/post-punk music? You might like my brand new video about the punk band SOFT PLAY: th-cam.com/video/2HsvpO2yDC0/w-d-xo.html
Been listening to them since 2020 and I swear, the only other band that has ever spoken to me so closely and deeply might be Nirvana. With IDLES I feel not only that I am a part of a community, and that I must spread love and joy for the people I love, but also that I can do something to make things a bit better. I love them.
That’s awesome ❤️
Love that you shipped the album from Brazil. Huge fan of Idles and Brazilian 😘
I have always loved this line.
"If someone talked to you the way you talk to you, I'd pull their teeth through, love yourself," I repeat to myself when I lose that love, I even considered getting it as a tattoo, or at least a section of it.
To me, idles Is absolute Acceptance, tolerance, and love. Love all people, but hate bigotry and oppressive violence. Be that against women, queer people, people of color, or against our mothers. This is also why I often find pits poetic. I love you, you love me, and we are going to kick, push, and hit each other to express it, and as soon as you fall, I will let out my hand for you to get right back to that loving violence.
So well summarised! This is IDLES to a tee ❤️
p.s. I vote yes on tattoo!
After hearing the singer's story, Sleaford Knobs petty attack on their alleged lack of credibility seems even more petty. In fact off the charts petty.
Agreed 👍
@@MusicMongoose I now hate Sleaford Knobs more than I did before. I'm guessing this was some half baked attempt to create a new Oasis vs. Blur. Seriously, F. those guys. #SleafordKnobs
I found them supporting Dead Kennedys in the time between Meat and Brutalism. I went to a bunch of their shows, got to know the guys, Joe especially. Joe is one of the kindest, loveliest guys you'll ever meet, as are the rest of the band. They're incredible, in the studio and live, and probably one of the most important bands of the last twenty years.
i saw them in philly in june last year, and they really installed this feeling of joy inside of me, that i haven't felt in a long time. Idles helped me through a lot, and they are forever cemented as one of my favorite bands ever.
That’s so awesome 😁
63YO IDLES stan here. They played to their largest North American audience to date last night here, in the best hometown in America, Austin, Texas. The resonance from that 2-hour set, in crushing heat and humidity, sent me down a glorious IDLES research bunny trail today.
So glad to see this video. IDLES are easily my favorite new band of the last ten years or so.
Great to hear! They’re brilliant.
I kissed a boy and i like it 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
When I discovered their music I remember I didn't like it. Gave a chance to a couple of songs but no.
This year, something happened that rewired my whole system and I found myself rediscovering them.
And now fortunately, loving them.
I'm gonna watch them live for the first time in October, here in Mexico.
I am 40 years old and needed a band like Idles in my life. Also, great video my man! Keep this up and you will grow ;) fast enough.
Awesome! Thank you!
i'll watch them for the 3rd time in 3 years in the end of february 2024, all in Portugal. I love them!
Two summers ago my brother said “ have you seen IDLES on Tiny Desk Concert?” and then i watched. instantly hooked. all 3 of those songs are brilliant but when the chorus of PERM starts the “ concrete to leather “ chant….. i was blown away.
I discovered IDLES in around September last year, and I have not stopped listening to them. Booked to see them three time this year, the greatest band in the world. Great video mate and extremely informative!
Long live IDLES! Glad you enjoyed. They are phenomenal live - enjoy! 🙌
WOW.
Great video. Knowledgeable, well edited, concise. That feeling you mentioned when in an Idles concert is so accurate. All the best 💪🏼
Greetings from Belarus! Which is kinda far from Bristol;) I was lucky to get to know IDLES through TH-cam recommendations. Man, that was mindblowing! I felt emotionally that there must be some personal story behind their records. Now I know a bit more about the band's background, and there are some topics I can relate to. Which definitely results in the IDLES' songs hitting me even harder.
Great band and very informative video. Cheers!
❤️❤️
I just discovered your channel. Good stuff bro. Now I'm waiting for the video about METZ!
Welcome aboard! I don't know much about METZ, I'll check them out! 😊

Very kind of you to say, thank you 😁
Very well put together! I hope this gets many more views! I love Idles!
Thanks! Much appreciated 😁
IDLES is a great band, i hope they get to play in Brazil. excellent vid, by the way. got a new subscriber.
Thanks! 😁
Great video my man, thanks for this!!!
Thanks! 😃
Great video!
I just found them and am in total Love!
Welcome to the world if IDLES 🤘
@@MusicMongoose thank you, Mr. Mongoose!
these guys are absolutely fascinating. and they absolutely trigger in me the emotions of my the first band i adored in my teen age years, early 90's, the red hot chili peppers: the energy, the attitude, the provocation, the instrumental virtuosity with the untraditional/unique power of the lead singer. this is was a nice introduction, thks.
Great comparison!
I just discovered IDLES from the new track Gift Horse and then Dancer and then and goes on. I'm hooked.
falling in love for idles
Birthday Party. Mean this as a compliment.
Can you also do protomartyr?
Shout out BRISTOL and shout out IDLES! I'm very proud to call Bristol home!
Big up brizzle!

Be like Joe Talbot.
Music is cool. Their politics are cringe.
Then why are you here
@@prettyaverage97 whoa take it easy with the toxic masculinity brah.
@@9mwood what part of their politics is cringe?
@@jamesdaniels1036 The whole… woke, identity politics, gender ideology, traditional masculinity is problematic, trendy urban culture is superior, you’re racist if you are white and love your culture and history and don’t want millions of non assimilated outsiders flowing unrestricted into your society thing….
@@9mwood i think you are the one defending problematic politics
I prefer sleaford mods
