IDLES Debut 'Rabbit Run' from Aronofsky's 'Caught Stealing', Announce Block Party & Tour Plans
  • Idles, the punk band, has unveiled a new single titled 'Rabbit Run' from the soundtrack of Darren Aronofsky's upcoming film 'Caught Stealing,' set to be released by Sony Pictures on August 29, 2025.

  • The band contributed four original tracks to the film's soundtrack and collaborated with composer Rob Simonsen to record the full score.

  • The soundtrack, available digitally on the same day as the film's release, includes 'Rabbit Run' and a cover of 'Police and Thieves,' originally made famous by The Clash.

  • IDLES frontman Joe Talbot expressed his gratitude for the collaboration with Aronofsky, describing it as a significant opportunity that felt like a dream come true, stemming from a chance meeting at 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.'

  • Darren Aronofsky praised IDLES for their ability to capture the energy of the 1990s New York punk scene, stating that their collaboration was a dream come true for the film's score.

  • Rob Simonsen, who worked with IDLES on the score, highlighted the challenge and inspiration of building an atmospheric sound palette from their music, which reflects the film's gritty themes.

  • The lead track 'Rabbit Run' features a fast-paced punk sound that aligns with the film's narrative of confronting fear, as the story follows Hank Thompson, played by Austin Butler, who becomes entangled with gangsters.

  • Based on Charlie Huston's novel, 'Caught Stealing' is set in the gritty East Village of 1990s New York City and features a star-studded cast including Austin Butler, Zoë Kravitz, Bad Bunny, Regina King, and Matt Smith.

  • In addition to their film work, IDLES will host a Block Party in Bristol on August 1-2, 2025, featuring a diverse lineup, and will support Deftones and My Chemical Romance on their North American tour in September.

  • Talbot also mentioned that the band is working on new material, with plans to finish their next album later this year, following their recent Grammy nominations for their album 'TANGK.'

  • IDLES have been involved in various projects, including a film and computer game score, and have shown solidarity with global causes, dedicating their recent Primavera Sound Festival set to Palestine.
