Technically, it's album 3 for Idles. Beyond that, I'd probably agree. Like both bands a lot, although I thought the pre-album releases of some of Fontaines DC's songs were better than the album versions.
I’m gonna say that I’m not particularly arsed about either.

6 music mate. Lamacq just ran and ran with it. They’ve had 4-5 A list records on there. And now R1 have had to take notice too. They’re on the B list there at the moment.
It’d be a disaster for independent music and bands like Fontaines if the BBC really does get forced into streamlining services by the government.
I’m split - don’t love either of them all that much but from what I saw last night in terms of the age demographic, Fontaines have a potentially far wider appeal. Which of them make better records, as I say, I’m divided.

They’re alright as well
I’m far from an authority just I preferred the IDLES record.
ive never see either live in flesh but from their respective Glastonbury gigs I saw on tele, i again enjoyed the IDLES performance more. I am looking forward to both new releases hopefully sooner rather than later.
what was the age demographic mate ? I saw Black Midi last week, the place was packed to the rafters but mainly a very young ( 18-21 ) crowd

Aye its the demographic that surprises me too, which is why I couldn't see how they'd reached that mix. Completely forgot about the radio which probably explains it, especially R1.
Was sat there in a boozer a few months ago trying to work it out, as everyone around us was going to see them at the Forum and we were off to Boston Music Rooms. Not really the sort of crowd I was expecting. Fair play.

Lurpak's continual playing of both on 6 put me right off them. I eventually got over my prejudice with idles but I still can't be done with fontaines

Loads of 6 music dads at the back and down the sides then teenagers going crackers in the middle and down front.
Black Midi have a surprisingly young audience for such a f***ing weird band!
Aye that’s what I thought.
The very young crowd were going mad, forming those circles where they run into each other, whilst listening to experimental heavy jazz !!

Likewise. I thought they were brilliant at Glastonbury, then listened to the album and was disappointed. They sound much better live.
