Watch :: IDLES & Fontaines D.C. sessions for KEXP ahead of joint US tour

Words: Linn Branson 

After their current round of dates in Europe as part of their global onslaught this year, Bristol punks IDLES saddle up and head over to the US next month for a coast to coast run. (Scroll down for dates.)

Watch their performance above for Seattle public radio station KEXP, recorded last October, where they play
'Colossus', 'Never Fight A Man With A Perm' and 'Television' from last year's 'Joy As An Act Of Resistance' album.

Supporting them on all dates are Dublin's much vaunted Fontaines D.C. who released their debut album 'Dogrel' on Friday.

Check out their performance - also for KEXP - which was filmed live at Kex Hostel in Reykjavik during Iceland Airwaves last November. Set: 'Chequeless Reckless', 'Too Real', 'Big', 'Peddler's Toy', 'Boys In The Better Land', 'Hurricane Laughter'.
