Following the announcement of their extensive UK and European Tours, IST IST release ‘Dreams Aren’t Enough’ - the fourth single from their new album ‘Light A Bigger Fire’.
With previous championing from BBC Radio 1, 6Music, Radio X, KINK FM, The Times and their strongest body of work to date in their pocket, IST IST have forged a formidable reputation from 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 imprint.
“‘Dreams Aren’t Enough’ is a rallying cry to be fearless and engage your mental health struggles head-on in the knowledge you’re good enough to be successful’ frontman Adam Houghton explains. “It is a call to arms for all those who are naturally reclusive and for anyone who finds it safer and more comforting to dream.”
The autumn tour includes statement shows at New Century in Manchester and the iconic Paradiso Grote Zaal in Amsterdam. The band also venture into new territory, playing for the first time in Switzerland, Austria, Czechia, Hungary and Poland.
Their recent European and UK tours in March and April found them previewing tracks from ‘Light A Bigger Fire’ as well as their now extensive catalogue, and saw them play to over 8,000 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, bucking the trend of UK acts struggling in Europe post-Brexit.
