ABOUT THIS BAND

UNIVERSITY, who describe their sound as “like getting punched in the face by a gorilla but then being cuddled afterwards”, released their debut EP, Title Track in November 2023.

UNIVERSITY’s sardonic humour melds into their music. After signing to Transgressive and taking the ‘business side of their operation’ more seriously, they decided to offset this grown-up attitude by pushing their music to more extreme and more absurdist places. “It’s a side effect of taking the rest of it more seriously,” Bowker says, with the band determined to trust their weirdest, funniest impulses.

Their 5 track EP, which is available to stream in full here, featuring single, “King Size Slim”, as well as previous singles “Notre Dame Made Out Of Flesh”, and “Egypt Tune”.

Speaking about “King Size Slim”, the band said, “In 1846 University were given the task of finding the contents of the pandoras box. After extensive interviewing and studying many ancient scriptures and papers, one of these contained something of utmost importance, this read; “King Size Slim””.

Title Track saw praise for its unwavering explosive sound and energy, described by Dork as “a riotous earworm from noise punk’s most promising new band” and by NME as “an explosion of energy unlike anything you’ve heard this year”.
