Was at their gig at Usher Hall last night and they realy did rock!

  • Something seems to be out of place in the article. After much talk of Warnings/Promises, it starts talking about Remote Part again and touring with Pearl Jam on their Riot Act tour. Something's wrong there, but I don't know exactly how to fix it, so I hope someone else will. Also, calling Idlewild (they're great...don't get me wrong here) one of "Scotland and the world's most cherished bands" is definitely not in keeping with NPOV. I'll give someone else time to tone this down before I take it upon myself to do it. Also, much more wikification is needed. All in all... good article with good balance of thoroughness and brevity.--Hraefen 16:30, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]


"Idlewild are a truly independent band, in that they do not fit into any specific scene, though their sound has clearly been influenced by bands like Fugazi, early Pixies and more recently R.E.M.." I think that's going a bit far. Idlewild have a very strong punk sound, that's how I've always described them. They do have a certain uniqueness compared to mtv-punk but i would hardly say they don't fit into any scene.
