IDLES 'Joy as an Act of Resistance.'

'Joy as an Act of Resistance.' is the explosive second album from Bristol’s IDLES, a raw and unapologetic barrage of post-punk energy and social commentary. Produced by Space and mixed by Adam Greenspan and Nick Launay, the album sharpens its focus on urgent themes—taking aim at nationalism, toxic masculinity, class struggles, and societal divides with both ferocity and wit.

Fueled by Joe Talbot’s searing vocals and the band’s visceral instrumentation, the record balances chaos with catharsis, delivering anthems that are as thought-provoking as they are electrifying. Each track builds from tense growls to euphoric release, making 'Joy as an Act of Resistance.' not only a defiant statement but a celebration of vulnerability, empathy, and collective strength.
