Cheryl is a goddamn national treasure…and Idles fucking slay.

[@glenmchargue5461]

I love her. So sweet. Talking about being pumped pre-show.

[@OXYDENTALLYAWESOME]

@@glenmchargue5461 I hope I still have a knack/passion for good music when I get to be her age. I’m in no way calling her old. Just emphasizing that she has continued to be wise as she ages!

[@MementoMori_2070]

Yeah, until American society pulls a “ cancel culture”

[@jasperwagner7270]

cheryl is one of the people i would absolutely just love to sit down and have a cup of coffee with and listen to

[@adderon]

On level with Terry Gross

[@Livelaughlimpbizkit]

The bass player is so tasteful, he always plays exactly what the song needs and him and the drummer are always right in the pocket. The rythym section in this band is just fucking awesome

[@kevinwallace962]

Love the way the lead guitars sit back and let that drum and bass roll ...And then come in and out it's a beautiful thing such an in tune outfit !!

[@Livelaughlimpbizkit]

@@kevinwallace962 absolutely! Both guitarists are really innovative

[@tacosnachosburritos]

[@lazylion420]

the bass and drums hold it down so tight that the guitars and vocal can basically do whatever they want tight punk is tight

[@bomgc433]

Perfect....

[@markbradley7323]

I've listened over and again to the idles and i'd agree with that.

[@maggiereedy4079]

The one band my husband, our teenager, and I all three fan-girl over.

[@PlayinWithGhosts]

I've been battling depression for almost 30 years of my life. It's very seldom that a band can come around and make shit feel infinitely better. I love everything about these guys. The first time I heard them was like hearing The Clash for the first time when I was a small lad. Thank You, Idles.

[@garry_thomas]

100% anti-depression music. Especially the song Television.

[@justinsane11]

This band has forced my brain to re-calibrate what it takes to make GOOD music. No auto-tune, no fancy fretwork. Just tribal emotion that harmonizes in a way that we can't explain. I don't know how you just "come up" w/ this sound, but I'm hooked.

[@joelshields8807]

Bowen is moving towards Warren Ellis-type madman wizardry and I'm here for it.

[@stephencollins9673]

Dev's bass sounding sensational here

[@Boak7]

What a tone!

@@rupman27isback you can't hear melody here? If you listened to the album the performance here is pretty spot on. I could understand calling him terrible if that was the case.

[@dirtmcgirt1834]

Is it possible to fall in love with an entire band at once?

[@Lemonbees]

I watched their Glastonbury set live on tV and fell head over heels...it's a giddy thing.

[@nali419]

In this case it's impossible not to

[@andrewcainept]

yes.

[@mikkelbdker7186]

"The Wheel" is a monster track

[@ChrisReynoldsIsMyName]

Saw them recently in Boston. One of the best shows I've ever been to. These boys are the real deal.

[@stevea1236]

Saw them out in L.A during that tour and I completely agree

[@NJStew22]

Dude I was at that same Boston show - fucking unreal

[@edgeIord]

House of Blues, when they brought that kid from the North Shore up on stage? Top 3 shows of all time, instantly. My roommate caught the opener’s percussionist’s coffee can.

[@augusts1]

I saw them in '18 on the 'Joy' tour & I'd agree one of the best shows. So much energy & interaction w/the crowd. So fun to watch since they're all over the stage.

[@shiveringdemonstv]

Also saw them at the Boston show. I barely knew who they were but my buddy was going so I said what the hell and came along. The moment they opened with Colossus, I was HOOKED

[@smokeybrights]

Oh look it's our favorite band on our favorite station ❤️

[@Intraveineuse92]

RIGHT !?

[@bomgc433]

E vero!!

[@sneakyb4st3rd12]

Car crash definitely sounds even better live than it does on the album!

[@MrKingFooNirvana]

Everything by Idles sounds better live. This is why I love this band.

[@MeniscoManeiro]

That's so strange!!!!! I've been listening to them non-stop and was just thinking that!

[@nugznmugz]

I worked as the house A2 at their recent show in Dallas. I had never heard of them before. They KICKED ASS. Truly a band to see live, the energy is off the effin charts man.

[@vojtechgudyka4036]

Awesome :))) was the opener Wet Leg by any chance?

[@derekbertman9106]

In 2019 I worked security for their show in Atlanta; had no idea who they were - Obsessed since

[@mmayer1558]

This isn't just music, this is pure art. Just wow.

[@niggacee]

It ain’t a real “live on KEXP” without Cheryl Waters! love u queeen!

[@waynewheeler7929]

This band completely exemplifies why I love music and how important it is to me. Such honesty, emotion, and artistry. I love this band and its community.

[@EK63315]

Idles (Live on KEXP) shows are in a league of their own. Everyone is just at 150% energy all the time.

Buzzing album, picked it up hugely from last yrs album. Black Country, New Road, Squid equally fab this yr. British punk/whatever is superb and only gets better!!!!!!

[@stuartthomson2846]

Just recently got introduced to Idles by a friend. The only regret I have about it is I didn't find them sooner. Great band, amazing energy, fantastic lyrics

[@cueva_mc]

One of the best bands of the moment. Extremely disruptive sound

Best band.....

“Ah.. The Wheel… this song is about alcoholism, Sheryl… and the Beauty of Recovery.” Brilliant dude

[@christinepower7973]

Our beautiful joe n co wear their heart on their sleeve❤️❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

The energy Joe brings to these sets is just... absolutely unparalleled. IDLES is the best post-punk band of all time. Not even my opinion, that's just facts.

[@scoe1001]

Wow, this is the first time I've watched them perform after having listened to them a bit. Now like them 10x more. Such great energy!

they seem like the sweetest guys -- that contrasted with their music.... I mean, how can you not love them?

[@paulgarcia8344]

I saw them in Boston and got to meet Lee and he was super chill and even loved the shirts my fiancé and I made for the show. 100% worth seeing live!

[@tenebrisanimi]

they ARE the sweetest, I saw them almost 3 weeks ago in mexico and they were giving water to the people on the front row, joe praised a flyer some guy on the crowd designed for them, and I don't know 😭😭 they have such a warm and nice presence!

[@splattermansion]

I get it, they're the perfect balance of offence vs defence. It's remarkable. May be one of my favorite bands for life

[@buddhahat]

God this recording made me so happy, from start to finish. The Wheel is epic, and KEXP is the best station on the planet.

Sem dúvidas amigo, melhor banda da Década!!!! Song Very Very Very fuckin!!

[@chrisvalleqatsi]

There's an urgency and vitality to IDLES that you can't find very many places in music right now.

[@logike77]

I understand why Joe is so adamant resisting the label "punk." These guys are entirely different. They are. Their music is f*cking beautiful. And I'm a long time punk fan, so I get it.

[@Ratus66]

I feckin love this band. What joy to see how they play live. Have listening to them for some time and just bought "Joy as an act of resistance" on vinyl

[@JS3music]

I have heard this collection now 10 times …on here…back to back. At first I hated it. At first. But then I listened again and again and Al the disturbing nuances and atmosphere of these songs, how darkly sweet they are to the ear, completely captivated me and grew my interest from a small stream of water into a raging ocean. This. Music. is something special….. and it grows on you like a tumor.

[@guy8029]

When The Lights Come On has gotta be one of my faves off the new album, sounds great here!

"This song is about alcoholism, Cheryl" *twirls*

Cheryl is either very good at making pre-written questions flow very well, or she is very good at coming up with good questions (most likely both). She is an amazing interviewer and listener.
