Between 2016 and 2024, Bristol outfit IDLES have gone from being snarling, post-punk underdogs to being snarling, post-punk champions. Their debut LP, Brutalism, was an immediate hit, and since then they’ve turned out a string of full-length records that have expanded their creative vocabulary while increasing their popularity. It’s all come to a head this year with Tangk, their Grammy-nominated fifth album, which dropped in February.
Along the way, IDLES’ sound has mutated into experimental offshoots and outgrowths, so it’s little surprise that the rigs of guitarists Mark Bowen and Lee Kiernan, along with bassist Adam Devonshire, have done the same. While they still tour with some of the gear they showed off on our 2021 Rig Rundown, each player has fun new trinkets that contribute to their run of shows this year. But even with all the new toys, they keep an element of danger in the mix, and certain variables mean the set sounds different every night: “People come to see an IDLES show ’cause it almost falls apart all the time,” grins Bowen.

I need that EQD Gary pedal jfc
Stoked IDLES just played with BATTLES! Feels like they're on the same page with the electronic music but also rock trip. That had to be an epic show.
Chris needs some D'Addario earplugs!
is Mark trippin'? lol
Mark needs to try a Fender Bass VI
Tinnitus? Step this way sir
Glad to know that Bowen isn't blowing up amps damn near every night now. ????
Great interview… a couple of things. I’d say that baritone is definitely fiesta red and not Dakota red… also aren’t Texas Specials overwound and therefore “hotter”?
We need a second Emma Ruth Rundle RR!!
It would be cool if you guys cut to the song parts they refer to when they are explaining examples of how they use their specific sounds. I know that’s never been part of the format but I think it would be a super cool step up.
Saw Idles last night in Glasgow, fantastic. Still blows my mind how they approach playing live. Almost no one does this anymore..❤
Thanks PG and KK ????????. Glad I’m the only one who thinks a fishing vest is a kool style vest for fashion ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Most innovative Rockband since decades, period
At a time when so many bands are using modelling amps, this is SO refreshing. Creative and cool.
Whats with the tape?????
Great Rig Rundown, as always! Love me some IDLES. So good seeing Montreal Assembly and Red Panda getting so much love… Great sounds, great pedals and awesome visions! Stunning work Premier Guitar. Never less than utterly inspiring.
I hope their road crew get paid extra
I take it that Bowen has moved to LA. His accent is awful on this.
I'm a pedal freak. I get mildly aroused every time I watch Idles rig rundown. Don't know if they read this but…I didn't see anything by Hologram on their boards. The Dream Sequence and Infinite Jets would fit perfectly in their sound.
Amazing. Thank you for doing this format to the whole Premier Guitar Team! High Quality Content
Mark has that Mac DeMarco swag down
❤????
58:39 might be my favorite moment in any of these
The first time i heard Idles was their KEXP performance in 2017 or so, and they opened with that super slowed down version of Colossus, and my first impression was "5 unfrozen cavemen started a band," so its funny to hear Mark use the same term
I was sorta surprised by how cool the bassist is…not that he comes across as a prickly Pete…just that bassists for heavy bands can be “less than understanding”. The whole band seems really open minded. Kinda wish they’d f’around and make an ambient/experimental record. They all share that innocent love for making sounds. Ps:: buying a GARY
I have a lot of time for Dev. Such a great spirit.
thanks for the video. I love Adam's gear… can't find that Rusty Box anywhere though
