Idles detail debut record Brutalism

Brutalism is released 10 March and will follow a handful of highly rated EPs, including this year's MEAT and META releases. We've already heard a few singles that'll be on the release, including the pummelling "Divide & Conquer" and the Mary Berry-referencing "Well Done" - if you need more of an idea of what to expect, the band say "it’s a real bastard."

The Bristol quintet are set to support their debut record with a lengthy UK tour next spring, with headline shows confirmed for London's Moth Club and their home city's Fleece.
