Thank you so much to @idlesband for the support, and for being a force for good for the whole community. Love you guys x “They were the embodiment of all I had missed from a scene I never felt I fit in to before; they were FURY and they were real. They self produced without compromise, they played anywhere that would take them in order to enable their seething hunger for the live and their connection to a growing audience. They attacked the tropes of rock and roll, masculinity, class all the while tearing lumps out of the Indie scene with fuck off pop songs. Never losing a sense of humanity or that sense of fury. I believe it’s because they never stopped clawing away at their own sense of who they are whilst always moving with unflinching drive. In order to make the best art, you have to never wait for anyone; DIY. They did it themselves. They are The Cribs and I am truly grateful” - Joe Talbot, IDLES
