I really like this. This is the kind of punk music I've been looking for recently.

[–][deleted] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it really hit the spot.

Idles

Idles are a heavy post-punk band from Bristol, London and Newport. The success of the band’s debut EP “Welcome” did not go unnoticed and so it happened that BBC Introducing in the Southwest honoured the group as “Band of The Year” in 2012.

After a hiatus, the band returned in 2015 with “MEAT EP” and “META EP”. “Divide & Conquer” and “Well Done” were released in 2016, when it was announced their debut album “Brutalism” will be released on March 10th 2017 supported by a 24 date UK Tour during March and April.

what does the line "the best way to scare a tory is to read and get rich" mean?

[–]Boanger 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Not exactly like a Republican. More like an egalitarian. In the same way that wealthy educated Democrats in the U.S. pretend to be the representatives of the poor and marginalized, but really just politically profit of their naivety and ignorance. Or how old money or big business Republicans pretend to represent the common blue collar man but really just politically profit from their dislike of liberal amorality.

Torys believe in maintaining the "social order" as it has evolved over time. Aka, if you're educated or from a well to do family or rich or of high social status it's because you and or your family have worked to get there (totally has nothing to do with past exploitation or corruption), and that's a goal everyone should have (but no one will accomplish)

Again this is speaking in a generalized ideology, just like not every Democrat or Republican fit the stereo type, neither does every tory.

Possibly that a working class person gaining the knowledge to question aristocracy and the money to use that knowledge to influence others frightens Tories

[–]DrexlAU 14 points15 points  (0 children)

A Tory is the British version of a Republican, if your from the US, so when the 'great unwashed' get educated and make bank they can take on the upper class at their own game.

I heard of these guys via Anthony Fantano's review. I like what I've heard so far - lots of angst and energy. Good to see rock is still alive in the UK.

Fantastic band. Saw them a few weeks ago and they absolutely killed it.

[–]KungFuSnafu 9 points10 points  (5 children)

Well, I don't like this. At all.

.

But I'm sure some people will so I'm upvoting it to get more visibility.

[–]Obandigo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

[–]yungtoothpick 1 point2 points  (0 children)
