 For bands like Idles, stages like John Peel and Other are surely much preferable to an early afternoon Pyramid slot.

Still excited for new album stuff but man I hope they’ve deleted that last song off it.

John Peel would be the best given their style of music, but a Pyramid slot would still be brilliant I reckon.

I got the feeling that song they released was a one off rather than a song from the new album, or at least I hope so. Whilst I didn’t dislike it as much as you seemed to, it really did seem like a throwaway rather than the start of their new album campaign.

Shame they didn’t wait, they could have had an entire album’s worth of material out of the last few weeks.

There was in an interview a few weeks ago where they said they'd already started the fourth album because of everything that was going on!

So, do we actually think this is gonna be the new album?

Love IDLES and hope it's the new album announcement!  Also hoping the rest of the new album is better than the first single 😬

Keep looking at that video thinking “Guy Garvey has always been a big lad, but he’s really let himself go recently...”

I hope they announce how much glue I need to forget the last song ever existed.

I don't know if it will be the full album but it will linked to it. Album has been done and is out there with some people, has been for a month or so.

That's not even in the top 10 things I dislike about it. But I'm ready to drop the negativity and embrace what they throw at us tomorrow. If it's back on form then it'll be even sweeter.

I think it's going to be the studio release for this and an album announcement but not 100% sure...could also be the other new song 'War' but people seem to lean towards it being Grounds.

What’s with all the hate for the new single? It’s classic IDLES. They’ve always had daft lyrics.

More of a pointless parody of themselves than staying true to form. Essentially kicked the ball to any dissenting voices who say they're just angular guitar riffs + shouted pop culture references + chorus about unity. The frustration is coming from a place of love tho plz understand and hopes are still up for tomorrow - I would like to hear a studio cut of the track @Mouseboy11 posted muchly.

I absolutely love the new Idles tune

[gmb1992]

I can't wait for the announcement, I'm so disappointed that I can't see them at Reading this year, I only booked the ticket for RATM so Idles were such a bonus!!

Also I don't think the new song isn't too bad "Like David Attenborough clubbing seal clubbers
With LeBron James" the lyrics make me smirk

Surely they will announce they are playing Glastonbury again next year! I think theres more chance for next year with a new album imminent 🎸🎸🎸

[gmb1992]

I'd love them at Glasto next year.

It feels likely, I wasn't there in 2019 but they smashed it!

It's going to a be a long year if you suspect every radio interview might wield Glastonbury results ahah.

Eh, it’s alright. Was hoping they might bring something new to the table but it’s just a bit of a by the numbers Idles track imo - hopefully not representative of the rest of the album.
