Mancunian post-punkers IST IST known for crafting emotive crashing atmospheric sounds, have forged a formidable reputation on the back of uncompromisingly intense live shows and a fierce DIY work ethic. 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 album ‘The Art of Lying’ was released in November 2021, peaking at number 87 in the UK Top 100 and firmly establishing the band as one of the leading lights of a new era for music born in Manchester. The release was followed by a ten-date UK tour including sold out shows as well as a string of sell-out European dates in September 2022. The band will release their much-anticipated third album in 2023. It’s set to make even more of a splash.
