Idles - Ultra Mono

ALBUM REVIEW: IDLES – ULTRA MONO

The explosive crack of the snare, check. The ferocious drive of the bass, check. The controlled screech of the guitars, check. The snarl of the vocals, check. Yep, this is an Idles record. The band’s first two albums, ‘Brutalism’ and ‘Joy as an Act of Resistance’ have brought lots of success and the winning formula […]

Although cities have to change, it’s important not to lose the culture and unique characters which made the place great originally, and that’s […]

ALBUM: IDLES – JOY AS AN ACT OF RESISTANCE

– A Celebration of Vulnerability – The highly anticipated second album by Idles is pure vigour underneath a bunch of songs where the guts, the cries and the sing & shout still prevail from their outstanding debut Brutalism. The Bristol based outfit’s new record, Joy as an Act of Resistance, is due on Friday 31st […]
Sweeping sheets of sonic blue swallow the chaser – painting a picture of devotion that’s guarded within Cigarettes After Sex’s world of ‘her’, but where Greg Gonzalez has previously found himself celebrating the euphoria of romance, ‘Each Time You Fall in Love’ sees the front-man leaving thumb-printed glass behind as he wanders down a palm-flanked […]
