Ist Ist, stylized as IST IST, is a post-punk band based in Greater Manchester, United Kingdom. The group consists of Adam Houghton (vocals, guitar), Mat Peters (guitar, synth), Andy Keating (bass) and Joel Kay (drums).

History

The band formed in late 2014,[1] and gained popularity in the Manchester music scene from word-of-mouth after gigs at venues such as The Ritz, Gorilla and The Deaf Institute. After a number of singles, the band went on to release two EPs, Spinning Rooms in 2018, and Everything Is Different Now in 2019, before releasing their debut album Architecture in 2020,[2] which reached number three on the UK Independent Albums Chart.[3]

The band recorded their second studio album The Art of Lying during the COVID-19 lockdowns of 2020.[4] Released on 26 November 2021,[5] it became the first charting release for IST IST, entering the UK Albums Chart at number 87 the following week.[6]

The band recorded their third studio album Protagonists on 31st March 2023 [7], playing The O2 Ritz in Manchester, England as the headline act on the same date[8]. An extended edition digital only LP, Protagonists - Bandcamp Deluxe Edition[9], was also launched the same week, which included all of the tracks on Protagonists, plus eight bonus tracks from their live set played in Hebden Bridge, in December 2022.[10]The album release was followed up by two more dates after the O2 Ritz, at Oporto in Leeds[11] and at The Fighting Cocks in Kingston, near London[12], which was notable for the band's first ever live Q&A session with the audience before the gig. After a short Easter break, the band plan to tour the UK from the 13th April, including dates at Glasgow, Newcastle, Nottingham, Birmingham, The Thekla[13] in Bristol and London's Omeara. The UK leg of the tour finishes in Whitby at the Tomorrow's Ghosts Festival, before they head for Europe for dates in Antwerp, Cologne, Paris, Rees, Nijmegen, Bielefeld, Rotterdam, Hulst, The Melkweg in Amsterdam and Berlin, the Nijmegen and Rotterdam shows having already sold out at the time of writing.[14]
