IDLES brought the power of positive aggression to Roadrunner to celebrate the release of their fifth studio album, TANGK, released in February on Partisan Records. Charting #1 on the UK charts, TANGK brought out a new side of the same animal that makes up IDLES; produced by Nigel Godrich (Radiohead) and Kenny Beats, the album displays sonic aggression and lyrical maturity, with features from James Murphy and Nancy Whang of LCD Soundsystem. As always, the band put on a crazy show – microphone swings, crowd surfing and even guitarists Mark Bowen and Lee Kiernan joining the mosh pit with their guitars. Vocalist Joe Talbot connected with the crowd immediately and encouraged as much crowd participation as feasible, bringing a rather unconventional (but welcome) vibe to Roadrunner.
