Bristol music fans will be pleased to hear that Idles are releasing their second EP Meat for the first time on vinyl. The release was undeniably a pivotal moment for the band who have gone on to take the world by storm.
Frontman Joe Talbot has said, “Record Store Day is a celebration. A celebration of worth, artistic exploration and conscientious craftsmanship that closes the gap on mindless consumerism and allows artists and labels who care about fans and hold the relationship they have with the artist as paramount.”
With a record number of stores participating this year, there should be a high chance of finding what you want this year. Participating local stores so far include Rough Trade and Friendly Records and Specialist Subject, where you can also expect a healthy dose of live music.
