Product Overview
Marking the fifth anniversary of one of the most impactful debuts in modern punk, Brutalism: Five Years of Brutalism celebrates the raw power and emotional honesty of IDLES’ breakthrough album. First self-released in 2017, Brutalism introduced the world to the band’s unrelenting sound—fierce, politically charged, and deeply personal.
This limited edition reissue comes pressed on cherry red coloured vinyl and features alternative artwork by frontman Joe Talbot, honouring the album’s lasting cultural weight. Beneath the explosive riffs and cathartic screams lies a confessional core that resonated immediately with audiences and critics alike, securing Brutalism as a cornerstone of 2010s post-punk.
Since then, IDLES have reached new heights with critically acclaimed follow-ups like Joy As an Act of Resistance and Ultra Mono, not to mention sold-out tours and a fiercely loyal fanbase. But it all began here—with a record that challenged norms, confronted social decay, and demanded to be heard.
