Idles Sign with Partisan Records

Bristol alt-punk outfit Idles have announced that they have signed on with Brooklyn based Partisan Records. The band have finished recording their as-yet-untitled 2nd album which will be out later in 2018. Idles front man Joe Talbot had this to say about the signing:

“This is not a decision based on greed. They excite us and have injected ideas and passions into our camp that we would not have mustered. We as a family have realised our limitations in as far as the ship we have built with you all is becoming too much for the team we have to achieve the best of our abilities. It was time to admit a necessity for help but we needed that to come in the form of trusted, earnest and like-minded people who were as passionate about our art and you people as we were: Partisan Records are the partners we were looking for. We haven’t been given a huge wedge of cash but instead a huge wedge of confidence that we are in safe hands and make no mistake, we are not going to stop working fucking hard for you and ourselves.”

The band have also announced a short run of headline shows in the US, check out the full details below.
