Mark Bowen of Idles explains how the band brought energy and drama to their latest album Tangk through carefully curated gear choices – including Bowen's extremely hefty but sonically charismatic Plexiglass baritone electric, his battered 70s-era Strat, Vox AC30s and more. Entertaining and insightful, Mark offers a unique window on Idles brooding, stark sound.

I'm loving this guy's vibe and approach.
-
Mark's authenticity for his own style of guitar playing and sound is infectious. Love it. We need more of it.
-
The sound of the that blue baritone is everything everything I ever needed. 😮😮💨
-
I'm in love with this man
-
Those guitars obviously also functions as bow ties... man, Mark can barely get the strap over his head 😅 Proof there's no right or wrong way to play guitar. Do whatever works for you.

Love that flannel

If you’re looking for an aluminium neck guitar check out “TIDES” cost less than half of what an EGC guitar costs. Made in France, I own 2 and love them

He looks a bit like young David Crosby

For Someone Who Doesn't Know How To Use Tone Control He Sure Knows A lot About Guitar's

I don't know anything about guitars, I just love Mark

What a cool dude and what a sick guitar!

Ever since I saw Dwyer from Oh Sees jammin an acrylic+aluminum SG style guitar I’ve wanted one so bad. They look fucking awesome
-
They fixed stinky nice. I found it sad that it was on the way out
-
That acrylic is a BEAST.

Dang! He keeps his guitar strapped high. Just a little higher it's hitting his chin when he looks down.
-
Oh boy I need a bowen baritone now 😅
-
He seems like a top guy. Very cheerful for frequently dark music.
-
this was the guitar I really wanted to see up close
-
Love his tache, bit of a cutie ❤
