Idles may be releasing an album of love songs post-Valentine's Day, but that doesn't mean that the Bristol punk band are losing their bite, frontman Joe Talbot insists.
The quintet may have made their name with combative, aggressive songs such as Never Fight a Man with a Perm, Model Village and Well Done, but on new album TANGK, set for release on February 16 via Partisan, the group reveal their more tender, emotional side, which, says Talbot, should not be interpreted as the group going "soft".
“The most powerful fucking human beings on earth are ballet dancers because it takes strength to move slowly and open yourself up to the world,” Talbot tells MOJO magazine.
