The Institutes

"Spellbinding... anthemic songs" - THIS FEELING
"A bit special. Love the tune" - BBC INTRODUCING
"Heart-wrenching tunes that will stop you in your tracks" - THE ZINE
"Catchy hooks and furious rhythms" - GIGSLUTZ


Drawn together by music that is as eclectic as it is themed, The Institutes are a thoughtful and innovative quartet. Melodic, energetic, peaceful and furious in their exploration of love, life and the social structures that bind us as much as they divide us. The Institutes seek textures in their hooks and rhythm in their wrath. Drawing from the traditions of English sounding melodic guitar based bands, their set is front-loaded with the most creative songs, but the entire track listing stays sincere. Moments feel appropriately urgent, whilst almost immediately becoming intimate and brazenly honest.
