Idles – Joy as an act of Resistance

Idles’ second album, Joy as an Act of Resistance, is a brawl transformed. Where their debut threw punches, here they grapple with the issues that rile them – toxic masculinity, social inequality, and the political climate. But amidst the fury, there’s a glimmer of hope. Singer Joe Talbot confronts his own demons alongside societal ills, advocating for self-love and unity. Musically, the band’s intensity remains, but it’s laced with a newfound melodicism. It’s a call to arms, urging defiance through embracing joy in the face of adversity.
