IDLES frontman Joe Talbot sings into a microphone

British band IDLES is a force to be reckoned with, particularly when they perform live.

That ferocity was on full display when they dropped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon this week to perform a track from their most recent album, the Grammy-nominated Crawler.

Swinging his microphone amid pulsating flashing lights, frontman Joe Talbot and the rest of the band broke out a ferocious version of "The Wheel."

Watch their intense performance here.
