As this a punk and new wave thread I would just like to know what people think of Idles?
They're the most punk sounding and issue lead band we've had for a while

I came on this thread to ask the exact same question...i love them, caught that show at Glastonbury last year....and just got tickets to see them in Manchester next year...assuming it goes ahead!

I've heard about 10 tracks, I like 5 or 6. I like their angst and raw sound but Idles being a 6th gen punk band I've heard most of the chords and sentiment before. Having said that they're a decent band.

I disagree about hearing the chords before...whilst they arent ground breaking, they are very contemporary.
Cant disagree on the point about sentiment...i mean, is that not the point?

And not fair to say they are a 6th generation punk band....by that token, nothing after 1977 can be called punk

Fair comments.

They are classed as punk and 6th generation punk. My mate is a promoter for up and coming punk bands from all over the world. Been to a few gigs he's put on and I can honestly say most sound similar to each other and are all mostly shite. There are a few exceptions though.

I remember this Costa Rican band playing in town a few years ago.

The Great Wilderness. Really good track I think.

Enjoyed that track but I wouldn't put it down as punk.
Indie for me.

Still sounds dangerous!

Saw them on a smaller stage at glastonbury 2017, they were great even without Jello

Said it before, they were one of the best gigs I've ever seen. Manchester Polly on 4th Oct 1980. I was at the front right in front of Jello and was almost crushed against scaffolding. Only 600 there but what a gig. They were supported by UK Decay. They weren't a bad band and i bought this single afterwards.

Ha ha ! Just seen this. Saw the Freshies a number of times at a club on Oxford Road whose name escapes me. Saw Chris Sievey more often as Frank Sidebottom including once when he was supporting Jonathan Richman who, as an American was completely nonplussed by the whole thing.

Went to see Public Image's first concert at the Rainbow Theatre in London one Christmas eve and saw them a couple of months later in Leeds. Saw the Jam about 6 times not because I particularly liked them, but because my best mate was a big fan.

My personal favourites of that era were, and are, Wreckless Eric and John Otway. Growing old with them now but still go and see them occasionally.
 
I think Magazine were a great Mancunian punk band that stayed pretty much under the radar from most. They were definitely in the shadow of The Buzzcocks and Joy Division. Howard Devoto started with the Buzzcocks and and left to form Magazine, Pete Shelley replacing him in 77. This is was their biggest and most recognised track from the excellent debut album 'Real Life' which I listed at 17 in the recent top 20 albums thread.

@Stoned Rose. You took an interest in them on WAYLTN thread, so I'll put the 'Shot By Both Sides' here and the other 8 album tracks to follow. Enjoy: )

I think I know the club but the name escapes me. Never saw The Freshies and don't know much about them. Remember their Manc megastore track well though: )
