I'm hobbling along best I can but between those problems, insecurity about my projects and my life choices, I was just about as depressed as I've been in years yesterday. Then Idles dropped this song and screamed in my face SEIZE THE DAY, YOU CAN DO IT!!!! It couldn't have come at a better time. I CAN fucking do it, God Dammit!!!! Thank you Idles from the bottom of my heart, I can't begin to express the gratitude I feel, knowing you are out there everyday making the world a better place. KEEP IT UP WE LOVE YOU

I've written/recorded and performed in many bands (including one or two quite well known ones) and been a working musician for over 30 years. This band has got me as excited as I was when I first got into music via punk rock. I fucking love the textures and shades they are creating, plus the energy and passion with which they deliver it. I am 52 years old now and never thought I'd be inspired by bands & music again, with the same intensity I was when I was 8 years old getting my face torn off by The Pistols, Damned, Clash et al. Stood next to these, everything I have written recently sounds dated, stale and irrelevant so I want to thank IDLES, for giving me the huge kick up the arse I needed and for inspiring me out of my comfort zone and into trying new approaches to writing. You've given me a second wind and I love you for it. Thank you so much x
