Idylls

Idylls is a chaotic force in Australia's underground music scene, hailing from Brisbane and delivering a visceral blend of powerviolence, noise, and experimental hardcore since their formation in 2010. Known for their confrontational live shows and genre-melting chaos, the band’s sound stitches together blast beats, dissonant riffs, and guttural screams with a cinematic intensity. Releases like *Prayer for Terrene* (2014) and *Farewell All Joy* (2016) solidified their reputation for crafting unrelenting, anxiety-fueled soundscapes that tackle themes of existential dread and societal collapse.

Their split releases (like the *Idylls/Palisades Split*) and collaborations often push boundaries, while tracks such as "The Barn" and "No Virility" showcase their knack for abrupt shifts between atmospheric tension and full-throttle aggression. Though notoriously cryptic about their personal histories, Idylls’ music and artwork lean into surreal, dystopian imagery, making them a cult favorite among fans of bands like Daughters or The Locust. Their work remains a cathartic, if unsettling, reflection of modern disintegration.
