IDLES are set to release a split 7″ with their mates and musical inspirations Heavy Lungs.
IDLES’ standout banger ‘Danny Nedelko’ is named after Heavy Lungs’ frontman, and now the Bristol punks have returned the favour with a new track ‘Blood Brother’, written about IDLES frontman Joe Talbot.
Obviously, the two songs had to be released on the same 7″, and that’s exactly what is happening. Released via Joe’s own label Balley Records and Partisan Records on 30th November, you can check out ‘Blood Brother’ below.
