The Institutes have wasted no time in becoming national radio’s favourite new Indie rock band, with support from BBC Radio 6 and Radio X catapulting them into the ears of music fans across the country. Formed in Coventry in 2018, this four-piece got to defining their sound in time for recording two sets worth of huge tracks, most of which you might hear The Institutes play on their US tour in 2021. Sounding somewhere between New Order, The La ‘s and 80s band The Primitives, they bring along a much needed pick me up to these dark days.
Recalling to some extent the euphoric rush of The Las, the heartbeat of The Stone Roses and the melodies of The Lightning Seeds this is a band that relies on songs and they have a massive arsenal of killer tunes. Recent single 'Alleyways & 'Heal In Time' have been championed on BBC Radio 6 by Steve Lamacq. 'All That You'll Ever Know' gained BBC Radio 1 airplay.
The band have just signed an LP deal with New Rivals Records in USA. and have been signed to UK label 42's Records. They will tour USA in 2021
