Here is my list of 13 bands that I ‘discovered’ and absolutely loved in 2012 ; and that I hope will reach out to wider audiences in 2013. Admittedly this years list is a lot more skewed towards US bands and garage/punk rock than last years list but I guess that’s how the cookie crumbled for me musically speaking in 2012. The Orwells [...]

Idles is an alternative indie rock band from Bristol in England. The five piece is made up of Joe Talbot (Vocals), Mark Bowen (Lead Guitar / Backing Vocals), Andy S (Rhythm Guitar), Adam Devonshire (Bass Guitar / Backing Vocals) and Jon Beavis (Drums).

BUY IT There's something very welcoming about the word 'welcome' (stay with me). While that may seem like a ridiculous opening statement, it is completely true. There are no mixed messages with it, no history of double-meanings; it's just a nice and friendly greeting. Until now, that is. Idles release Welcome , their debut EP, next week - and any sense of familiarity associated with the title and its connotations are instantly dispelled, as the Bristol five-piece take you on a journey through dark and unnerving soundscapes, that both thrill and [...]
These pesky Bristolians have sure been busy recently. After the success of the brilliant 26/27 , Idles have unveiled another cut from their forthcoming debut EP - set for release next week via Fear Of Fiction - with the release of this brilliantly ridiculous video for Germany . Welcome, the bands ace new EP, gets the full 'launch-night' treatment this coming Saturday at The Croft in Bristol, where the band will play alongside eight of the cities best bands.

Bristol five-piece Idles will release their debut EP, 'Welcome' , through Fear of Fiction on 6th August. To coincide with the announcement, the band has released a new video for lead track "26-27". Enveloping the brooding intensity of The Walkmen with the sharpness of Interpol at their most dreamy and angular belies the depth of Idles sound. Forming the band from the plume of Bristol's 'Batcave' night, the five band members set upon creating something thrillingly their own and have become one of [...]
The dark and brooding sounds of Bristol five-piece Idles ( facebook / twitter ) had me entranced on first listen. Whether it is the sinister 26/27 or the pulsating aggression of MEYDEI , you can't help but falling into an emotion-filled trance. It's messy, it's spitting attitude, and it's fucking perfect. Idles debut EP, Welcome , will be released by Fear of Fiction on 6th August. Introducing: Idles was originally published on [...]
Perennially fantastic urban-festival Dot to Dot tomorrow descends upon Bristol, depressingly just in time for my departure from the city. Seeing as most of the internet doesn’t live in Bristol I would imagine that many of you are in a similarly frustrating situation. Worry not, though, because the line-up is teeming with exciting new bands which you can hear many of below. And if you are making it along to the festival, you should definitely take some time out to point yourself in the direction of some of these brilliant new bands… Friends [...]

' Welcome ' will be released on August 4th via Fear Of Fiction , and the band have this morning unveiled the video for MEYDEI , the first track to be taken from it. Filmed by Felix Drake the video is a dark and somewhat disturbing visual that sits brilliantly alongside the bands most snarling and fully-formed track to-date. Roll on August... * * [...]

Arrivederci! // Gwilym Gold // Let’s Away // ILLLS// Idles // Death At Sea// MYPET // All We Are // Torches
As the inimitable Lt. Aldo Raine once said, ‘arrivederci’ . I’m leaving to become a homeless person in Italy for two weeks in the hope of running into either Porcelain Raft or Silvio Berlusconi, which does unfortunately mean that for fourteen tear stained days you will have to find your new music elsewhere. However, all is not lost, because in this post I’m going to throw at you a load of stuff that I have been meaning to post and would have carefully written about over the next two weeks. Instead, it’s going to be Soundcloud links and [...]

Emerging Artists #39 – Idles
They've recently signed to Fear of Fiction and will release their debut EP 'Welcome' on August 6th.
forthcoming: Welcome EP, by Idles
Everyone here remember punk v2.0? The downstroke-only guitar chops; the hoarse, punching vocals; the outdoor-arena song structures? We tried bringing the 80s incarnation of punk back for a while, but it didn't last. It all came off like a Diet Pepsi commercial. Then again, a video featuring nine young women wearing more ink than clothes? Smoking weed and guzzling beer, dancing and laughing? There's no Aspartame to be had, here. Like the song says (not this song, the other one ), "You're a non-conformist in rags, wheels, hide what [...]

Cool New Music: Idles
Idles are a post punk quintet from Bristol UK. I’ve just listened to a couple of songs from their soon be released EP Welcome (out on August 6 th ) but have to say I've really liked what I heard. 26/27 has that dark, sombre yet hypnotic vibe that brings to mind some of Interpol’s best work. MEYDEI is more up tempo and has [...]
