Leith, Luke and an ever rotating cast of capricious bass players makes up Adelaide's indie punk outfit; Idly By. The music is an "eruptuous emotional cavalcade" of mental health advocacy and anti-capitalism sentiment. After our second album came out in 2021 to a slew of covid cancelled shows, we were forced to redirect our energy. We had time to delve deeper into song writing and the recording process. Exploring new tones and layers and putting more intention toward cadence and melody. We came out with the best music we've made so far. Our latest single Feed The Machine talks about unplugging from the stress and pressures of a broken system and taking a look around with fresh eyes to decipher what holds value and which direction we should go in. @idlyby
