Idles Brings Urgent Post-Punk and Dynamic Energy to Ruckus New York Show: Concert Review

William Earl administrator It’s easy to dip into hyperbole after seeing Idles play. If you want energy, rawness and showmanship from a concert, is any other band devoting this much of themselves to the live experience in 2024? The British post-punk quintet — vocalist Joe Talbot, guitarists Mark Bowen and Lee Kiernan, bassist Adam Devonshire and drummer Jon Beavis — is a swirling mass of passion and fiery emotion, marked by a heavy rhythm section, screaming guitars and Talbot’s aggressive shouted-sung sloganeering.

Idles Uncork One of the Most Innovative Rock Records in Years With the Bruising ‘Tangk’: Album Review

Jem Aswad Executive Editor, Music These days it can be all too easy for rock fans to fall into despair. What was the last truly culture-shifting new rock band? The Strokes? The White Stripes? Alternative forms of rock have been thriving, but it’s been a grim two decades for traditional guitar-based rock, as even the powers-that-be behind Grammy nominations seemed to have trouble finding worthy nominees beyond the usual Queens-of-the-Foo-Kings suspects (although they have branched out in recent years).
