Alright, let's be honest: this is a super personal and intimate podcast for me (Brandon). Not only do I love this band deeply, but I've always resonated with the themes of grief, love, and leftism - almost to an obsessive extent frankly. Simply put, this was a big episode for me and I am grateful for it. Thanks for listening. Joe Talbot is the lead singer of IDLES, a rock band from Bristol, England. Their newest album "TANGK" is their strongest recording to date and continues to rule our playlists. They are known for their energetic live performances, powerful leftist themes, and being one of the best bands currently touring. Seriously, go to an IDLES show. Thanks to Joe for the interview and the entire IDLES team for being so awesome. #DeadDialect Watch the video of this podcast here
