      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.

      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.

      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.

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.
