IDLES formed in Bristol in 2009 around singer Joe Talbot and bassist Adam Devonshire, with guitarist Mark Bowen, drummer Jon Beavis, and guitarist Lee Kiernan becoming central to the lineup that carried the band into its breakthrough years. Their early music developed through small venues, independent releases, and a series of EPs that gradually sharpened the combination of post-punk, noise rock, punk, and confrontational live energy that would become their signature.

The band’s first full-length album, Brutalism, arrived in 2017 after years of groundwork that included the Welcome and Meat EPs. Songs such as “Mother,” “Well Done,” “Divide And Conquer,” and “Stendhal Syndrome” introduced a writing style that could be furious, funny, vulnerable, and politically charged without losing its physical impact. Joy as an Act of Resistance. followed in 2018 and brought IDLES to a much larger international audience through songs including “Colossus,” “Danny Nedelko,” “Samaritans,” “Great,” and “Never Fight A Man With A Perm.”

IDLES continued to change rather than repeat themselves. Ultra Mono in 2020 pushed their rhythmic attack and group vocals to the front, while CRAWLER in 2021 moved into darker, more atmospheric territory with “The Beachland Ballroom,” “Car Crash,” “MTT 420 RR,” and “The Wheel.” The band then worked with Nigel Godrich, Kenny Beats, and Mark Bowen on TANGK in 2024, an album built around the idea of love and driven by songs such as “Dancer,” “Gift Horse,” “Grace,” “POP POP POP,” and “Roy.”

The years surrounding those albums also produced a substantial catalog of non-album recordings, collaborations, covers, alternate versions, and soundtrack work. In 2025, IDLES performed the full soundtrack for Darren Aronofsky’s film Caught Stealing, including original songs, a version of “Police & Thieves,” and score material written with composer Rob Simonsen. The same period also brought collaborations with artists including Danny Brown and Gorillaz. The catalog below follows IDLES from their earliest officially released EP material through the band’s released work of 2025, while leaving out unreleased concert songs and unnecessary duplicate live performances.
