ABOUT THIS BAND

Established in late 2014, IST IST have forged a formidable reputation on word of mouth excitement at their uncompromisingly intense live shows, a fierce Mancunian DIY work ethic and an ever-growing back catalogue of successful studio and live releases, all self-released through their own Kind Violence Records label.

New single 'Lost My Shadow' is the first glimpse of new music from their as-yet unannounced fourth album and is produced by Joe Cross (Courteeners, Hurts). The record will be the follow-up to ‘Protagonists’, which reached number 41 in the full charts on release in March 2023 as well as securing them their third set of top ten positions in the vinyl, independent and physical charts as well as the number one download in the week of release.

Their upcoming headline European and UK tours in March and April, which will preview more new music as well as their now extensive catalogue, will see them play to over 5,000 people in nine countries. IST IST’s reach has already spread beyond the shores of the UK selling out prestigious venues in the Netherlands and Germany in 2023, bucking the trend of UK acts struggling in Europe post-Brexit.

With previous championing from BBC 6Music, Radio X, XS Manchester, KINK, The Times and more, brimming with confidence and their strongest body of work to date in their pocket, IST IST are set to light a bigger fire everywhere they go in 2024.
