If 2018 was encapsulated best on Joy As An Act Of Resistance, you could probably say the same about 2002 and Original Pirate Material. Fitting then, that Idles chose to cover The Streets during their visit to Radio 1’s Live Lounge yesterday. Have a watch below.
Idles are back in the UK as their huge, maiden world tour behind Joy As An Act Of Resistance continues this month in Hastings, with more shows booked through March and April.
