concert experience in the climate-controlled comfort of a modern movie theater, buttered popcorn in your lap and nestled into a plush recliner with a seat warmer. You’re ready for your favorite British rock band to have their Taylor Swift concert movie moment, one that would bring the band’s larger-than-life brand to glorious life on the silver screen.

“Catharsis” and “violence” are themes to IDLES music, the knitting needles that thread songs from their back catalog like “Mother” and “Never Fight a Man with a Perm” tofavorites like “Gift Horse” and “POP POP POP.” We ask Bowen about the wildly emotional reactions those songs evoke from listeners. “It never gets old seeing people latch onto that, seeing people find something for them in it,” he said. “I think even from our very earliest shows when the songs weren’t great, there was always that. And I think that’s why people latch onto us and I think that’s why people enjoyed coming to the IDLES shows, because they could feel something that they maybe weren’t getting elsewhere and feel something that they understood. And, so, they felt understood.

Speaking of interpretation, we picked up on a line of questioning Bowen and Talbot answered on a recent episode of the brilliantand there was some discussion on how bands of that era would sometimes have the same song on the Billboard charts, their respective versions vying for audience approval, almost competitive in nature. Bowen said he’s happy that doesn’t exist in today’s music landscape, so of course we asked him to imagine it did.

“Recently we did a tour in Europe and we started playing arenas. You’re talking like 6,000-plus people in an arena and we were like, ‘How are we going to do this?’ An important aspect of an IDLES show is the intimacy. But it always felt right. I think a big part of it is this ramping up of our persons that we do onstage. It comes across and it works in an arena. It’s big and it’s bombastic.
