This band is IMPORTANT.

[@HotStrange]

James Robertson most important one around right now imo

[@benhunt3880]

Fucking agree

[@danny9556]

why is this fucking comment posted on every fucking idles video, fucking hell it's so cliched

[@morganghetti]

@@danny9556 Agreed. What does it even mean?

[@Skabanis]

What’s important about it? This isn’t nirvana? That was being played in hip hop clubs in 1991...their woke anti white messages? Lulz

[@cosmug2935]

IDLES is pretty good. I wish more people would discover them. Also, they have great taste in chocolate milk.

[@Mylascreamo]

Choccy milk ❤

[@nate-otero]

Imagine being in a punk/alt band and you get to be in a room and play a show with people who where not only in foo fighters but also nirvana, the germs and sunny day realestate

[@saintlysiren4072]

4:30 is so precious

[@StinsonTango]

I was in that room. they were definitely for me.

[@bradleyrio360]

I can’t get over how great this album is ... already bothering every person I can with pleas to listen to IDLES. Check out the tiny desk vid ... amazing

[@warrenm3542]

The Tiny Desk concert is the best thing on KZbin ever. Thanks!

[@weylandyutanicorporate]

That Tiny Desk vid is how I discovered them, and same - I'm annoying everyone to listen to them.

This is an extremely important band. If you care about music and progression you should listen.

[@HotStrange]

That concert footage was filmed very well holy shit

HOW DO I MISS THIS SHOW

[@rodrigogomes2064]

The backround looks like a painting

I reckon Dave saw their drummer and was like WTF?

I kissed a boy and I LIKED IT!

[@AtortAerials]

Keep it up fresh!

[@tomdooley635]

C'mon... has no one mentioned the UAP in the back ground (between the clods as his arm goes down) starting at 5:03?

[@Russ_Hell-Russell_Stevens]

Tightest band ever

Smashed the IOW off the radar

[@darrenwalshe8513]

David Bowie would have loved this band, xx

[@lunatika2001]

why?

[@BigJilm84]

Bowie loved experimental music. Was said he was listening to Death Grips on his death bed.

At 5.05 I saw a foo fighter......WTF was that behind your head??

[@tomdooley635]

I didn't see your comment first... but I just watched this interview a month ago & made a comment about this too. At 5:03 it first appears... in several of the cuts to that interview setting/ angle it reappears several times. It slowly drifts to the left of the screen between clouds.. NO chemtrail at all. Conversely, there is a plane in the sky a little later in the interview (after the UAP disappears) and that plane has a clear chemtrail. I'm blown away that more people that viewed this video haven't brought this up... this is almost as good as the "tick tack" video.

[@hitlermugabetashtwin]

You have to tell a body that you want an award for them to give it to you? Fucking hell.

[@poundtacos4006]

Is it not obvious that opening bands are there because headliners want them there? How much of a hipster do you have to be not to get that?

[@sennikram]

jools

[@sennikram]

I have only just come across this band (not in a gay way) I saw the jules Holland performance and dug deeper, all I can say is fucking wow, its what I have been waiting for since the sex pistols, Nothing like the PiStOlS but its what I wanted all the same. At last a band with bollocks and originality about fucking time too its been a long time coming.
