Bringing raw riffs and powerful tone, we caught up with Lee Kiernan of the iconic IDLES in the Marshall Studio to talk all things amps.

Following the release of their stellar fifth studio album TANGK, Lee walks us through his mighty rig as he runs both a JCM800 2203 and a 1987x that bring an immense level of punch and power to the band's signature hard hitting sound.

Lee's raw tone is full of an immense level of both nuance and authenticity with every note, in this artist spotlight, Lee walks us through the intricacies of his rig and what Marshall means to him.
