British post-punk band IDLES are back with their fifth album, Crawler, and it's a powerful call for action. The album is full of anthems of resistance, joy, and vulnerability, and it's sure to get you thinking about the world around you.
In a recent interview, IDLES frontman Joe Talbot explained the album's title, saying, "A crawler is someone who is on their hands and knees, but they're still moving forward. That's what we are. We're not going to stop fighting, even when it's tough."
The album's lead single, "The Beachland Ballroom," is a raucous anthem of resistance. The song is a call to arms for the working class, and it's sure to get you pumped up. Another standout track is "Car Crash," a powerful ballad about the dangers of toxic masculinity. The song is a heartbreaking look at the ways in which men are often taught to suppress their emotions, and it's sure to resonate with anyone who has ever felt like they had to hide their true selves.
Crawler is a powerful album that is sure to stay with you long after you've finished listening to it. It's a call to action, a celebration of joy, and a reminder that we are all in this together.
