Across nine studio albums, Idlewild have delighted and charmed fans all over the world for a quarter of a century with their sweeping, melodic songs full of soaring choruses and poetic lyrics.

Initially a ramshackle punk rock band (famously described as sounding like 'A flight of stairs falling down a flight of stairs') and taking their influence from underground US rock, the band developed over time to include a variety of influences, from indie rock, to country rock and folk. 

Their albums 100 Broken Windows and The Remote Part were critical and commercial hits and proved influential for a whole new generation of Scottish bands. 

Idlewild are perhaps the definition of a cult band, yet one who have infiltrated the mainstream. They are a band who have had plenty of hits (8 Top 30 singles and 6 top 30 albums, for those who are counting), yet have rarely had to compromise themselves to achieve them.
