IDLES reveal album 'Joy As An Act Of Resistance'

The brightest band in Brighton, IDLES, are set to release their second record, Joy As An Act Of Resistance, on August 31 via Partisan Records.

The twelve-track album – which features songs such as ‘Never Fight A Man With A Perm’ and ‘Danny Nedelko’ (the LP’s pro-immigration lead single) – is set to highlight themes of “immigration and class inequality” as well as “toxic masculinity”. IDLES‘ forthcoming release is expected to be poignant, hard-hitting and oh-so raw.

The release of their sophomore effort comes after their seminal debut, Brutalism in 2017. You can hear Joy As An Act Of Resistance’s lead cut – ‘Danny Nedelko’ below the official tracklisting.
