IDLES released their politically-charged sophomore LP, Joy As An Act Of Resistance, last August. This week, they embark on their sold-out US tour. And today, the Bristol punk outfit are sharing a new song. “Mercedes Marxist” is pulled from the sessions for their latest album. Frontman Joe Talbot's voice grows gruff over a nagging guitar: "I bow on my knees for you, but I'm already wasted." Listen to "Mercedes Marxist" below.
