There aren’t many bands left that I still want / need / am determined to see live before I croak. But Joe Talbot and Idles are definitely one of them. Maybe the top of the list. And performances like this are why. Watch the Bristol outfit tearing / slamming / blasting a devastatingly heavy version of The Wheel — a track from their 2021 album Crawler — on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday and tell me I’m wrong when I say they’re one of the greatest bands in the world right now. Can I get a hallelujah? And while we’re at it: Can we get a new album this year please?
