Watch IDLES Cover The Strokes’ “Reptilia”

The British band IDLES are releasing a new album, Ultra Mono, in a little under a month. We've heard a handful of singles from it already, including "Mr. Motivator," "Grounds," "A Hymn," and "Model Village." This weekend, they aired a series of livestreamed performances that they recorded while at the iconic Abbey Road studios.

They covered a number of tracks throughout, in addition to debuting new Ultra Mono tracks. They did an appropriate cover of the Beatles, taking on their "White Album" track "Helter Skelter," and they also covered the Strokes' Room On Fire single "Reptilia." Check out videos of that below, and check out some more clips from the performances here.
