Idles pay tribute to The Streets with Live Lounge mashup

As the countdown continues to this year’s BRIT Awards, nominees are heading to BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge with Clara Amfo to play in session.
Today it was the turn of Idles, who not only took ‘Samaritans’ from last year’s ‘Joy As An Act Of Resistance’ along, but also paid tribute to The Streets with a mashup.
