Established in late 2014, post-punk overlords IST IST have forged a formidable reputation on the back of uncompromisingly intense live shows, a fierce DIY ethic and a rapidly growing audience both at home and across Europe.

Releasing their debut album ‘Architecture’ in the midst of the pandemic on their own label Kind Violence Records, the LP found significant success in the indie, physical and vinyl charts.

Second and third albums ‘The Art of Lying’ and ‘Protagonists’ peaked in the Top 100 at 87 and 41 respectively, firmly establishing the band as one of the leading lights of a new era for music born in Manchester.
