Idles – Samaritans (Partisan Records)
Idles - Samaritans
Release Date: Out Now
Just when I thought I couldn’t be
more impressed with Idles they come along and slap a mighty slab of meat on the
table, meat in the shape of new single ‘Samaritans’. Furious, relentless
drumming underpins a low-slung bass grumble, abrasive guitars and the barked vocals
that are an Idles trademark. “I’m a while boy boy and I cry, I love myself and
I want to try, this is why you never see your father cry” goes the chorus as
the band tackle the issues of pent up emotion within the façade of 21st
century masculinity head on. This is punk, this is rock’n’roll, this is
essential, this is what 2018 needs. This. Is. Idles.
