IDLES have dropped a new animated video for Joy As An Act Of Resistance album track “Never Fight A Man With A Perm”. Created by the team behind Fluffer Records (Al Brown, Russell Taysom & Stella Belle Hex). IDLES’ current release “Mercedes Marxist” will be released physically on August 2nd as a 7″. The single will include another new song on its B-side, entitled “I Dream Guillotine.” Both tracks were written and recorded during the band’s sessions for ‘Joy as an Act of Resistance’.

IDLES will return to North America this summer for a main stage performance at Lollapalooza on Fri Aug 2nd, and again this fall for a short run of headline shows, including an Oct 7th show at The Wiltern in LA and an Oct 17th show at Terminal 5 in NYC. The band will also play their biggest headline show to date on Dec 7 at London’s Alexandra Palace.
