The Idles

The Idles

The Idles are a musical duo, comprising Doug Parmenter and Joseph Fuller. They are famed for their collaborations, writing songs to perform with other musicians and singers. Q Magazine, August 2005 ]

They came to national prominence after receiving airplay on BBC Radio 1 by Jo Whiley.

Originally a product of mis-spent music lessons in their final year at school, The Idles formed after many late night jam sessions. Q Magazine, August 2005 ] Their ability to switch between instruments, and lack of willingness to sing, led to a wide array of songs written to be performed in collaboration with various vocalists, most often close friend Jodie O'callaghan.

Turning down various offers in order to "maintain credibility", they have vowed never again to play in public together. Despite this, they remain the best of friends, and regularly write songs together behind closed doors.
