INTRODUCING KVR STUDIOS

Greater Manchester’s newest rehearsal and creative studios. Owned, designed and built by us.

After losing our home of five years following the closure of Brunswick Mill, we took matters into our own hands.

We wanted to provide a base for the current and future generations of musicians and creatives in Manchester, the lifeblood of our great city.

Hourly and permanent rooms are available now.

‘THE ART OF LYING’ IS 87TH IN THE CHARTS

We did it. We’ve broken into the Top 100 with an album on our own label.

Thank you so much for all the support and to anyone who bought a copy, we couldn’t have done this without you.

🖤

WE’RE 38TH IN THE MIDWEEK CHARTS!

Last year we missed out on the Top 100 by 39 sales and we want to try and stay there this time. If you haven’t already, please grab a copy from our website or download from iTunes, Amazon or Bandcamp.

Your support means everything! Thank you!

Our second album ‘The Art of Lying’ is out now.

Writing and recording this album kept us sane throughout last year and we’re so happy that it’s out in the world. We hope you enjoy it.

We’re back!

Thank you to everyone who came and shared a special night with us at @MancAcademy. It felt incredible to be back on stage in front of an audience.

Better times are here and even better times are coming.

Love to you all 🖤

@ististmusic @Tim_Burgess @LlSTENlNG_PARTY Thank you @Tim_Burgess @LlSTENlNG_PARTY !!! Huge honour ! Much love ✨✌️

@ististmusic Feel like the long instrumental “jamming” at the end was something we’d not really done before and it defo leads in nicely to the new stuff we’ve got cooking

[mat peters @matpeters_]

@ististmusic Feel like I really got to get my shoegaze love out at the end of this one. We recorded SO many guitars at the end

[mat peters @matpeters_]

@ististmusic I am absolutely gutted that we’ve never played this live !!! It’s turning into a different beast over the past year.

@ististmusic When Adam tells you to do something you do it.

[mat peters @matpeters_]

@ististmusic I remember distinctly sitting in rehearsal when we were writing and Adam went to me “Mat... play something mint on the synth there” and I literally just sat down and played what you hear in the verses.

[mat peters @matpeters_]

@ististmusic Still think this is one of our/your best songs.

[mat peters @matpeters_]

@norbert_colon @ististmusic Yes !! My first gig with the band. Talk about being thrown in the deep end. First gig ever playing guitar in front of about 400 of you lot

[mat peters @matpeters_]

@ististmusic Hahah love the note for Wolves: “Throb-Adam-Mat-Joel&Andy haha

[mat peters @matpeters_]

@ististmusic I think I sent Adam the keys part to an idea I had, he then moved some of the notes around, simplified it, then I worked on it abit more and there you go

[mat peters @matpeters_]

@norbert_colon @ististmusic I remember we were toying with the idea of hitting the big metal stairs in the studio with a hammer as the snare sound at the end.
This didn’t happen but Joel’s snare sound does a pretty good job of it
