News: IDLES share new video for their violent ode to the NHS in Divide & Conquer

Idles are a heavy post-punk band. They want to entertain and hurt in equal measure. They believe that art and violence work. Their spirit colour is coral pink. One of them loves queuing, one struggles counting, one has been arrested 8 times, one doesn't like music and one puts sausage rolls on his pizza. Divide and Conquer is the first single from their debut album Brutalism, the track takes a more visceral approach to creating a uniquely heavy sound. 

Idles were kind enough to write some of their thoughts on the track and give it some context:

"This is the first song from our album, it is called 'Divide and Conquer' it was written at a time where I watched my mother deteriorate in a hospital that was itself dying.

The song was an observation on how simple financial cuts and the mere action of writing a cross in a box can cut someone's life short.

Today the Tories have started the campaign to sell whatever is left of our NHS or the Sustainability and Transformation Plan as they've put it. Fuck off."
