10 Best IDLES Songs

10. Date Night

It’s a memorable early track in the listings of Brutalism. From it you get a measure of Joe Talbot's style when it comes to performing. It’s snarling and harnesses that aforementioned punk energy of the '80s.

For many it’s a very relatable song - 'patience, i've got no goddamn patience', which builds back in to the energy that the band generates, not wanting to wait or stop.

The song tells a story of love lost in a subtle way, rather than destructive arguments “we barely scream or shout [...] because neither of us care”. This also signals a sense of resignation with “I guess we was born to fail”. This message of resignation is juxtaposed against the urgent, febrile nature of the music. A worthy entrant to the top-10.
