Nark 5 represents a new chapter for I.D.K., driven by energy, rebellion, and everything that made us who we are.

Jersey City, NJ (1888PressRelease) December 24, 2025 - Formed in the 1990s, I.D.K. built strong momentum throughout the decade with multiple releases and a reputation for high-energy performances. The band gained significant recognition following their 1997 EP Taking on the Monster on Earache Records and developed a dedicated following, particularly within the New Jersey / New York metro area, where they became a staple of the regional Punk/Hardcore music scene. Their combination of aggressive songwriting, memorable hooks, and relentless live shows helped establish I.D.K. as a respected name in the underground metal and hard rock community.

While the band has remained active in various forms over the years, Nark 5 marks their first newly released recording since 2008, making it a notable return and the beginning of a new chapter in the band’s history.

The release is anchored by the brand-new title track “Nark 5,” an energetic and rebellious song inspired by the prison break depicted in Season 1 of the Star Wars series Andor. Fueled by momentum and themes of resistance and unity, the track delivers a forward-driving statement that reflects both urgency and renewal. “Nark 5” is currently available digitally.

Also featured is “Fireman Song 2025,” a newly recorded version of the track originally released on I.D.K.’s 1997 Earache Records EP Taking on the Monster. The band revisited the song with the goal of creating a more timeless version, adding updated guitar nuances and a brand-new guitar solo not featured in the original recording. “Fireman Song 2025” will be available exclusively on the Nark 5 CD format.

The CD closes with a cover of Black Sabbath’s “Symptom of the Universe,” paying tribute to one of the band’s foundational influences while delivering the song with I.D.K.’s signature energy and drive. “Symptom of the Universe” is also currently available digitally.
