Institute was an alternative rock band featuring Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale and members of Rival Schools and Helmet. The band’s only album, Distort Yourself, was released September 13, 2005.

As Gavin Rossdale put it, the last couple of years have passed fairly quickly…astonishingly so, he reveals with a small laugh. “Well,” he begins, “I got married, I lost a band, and I gained a band.” This might be a tiny bit of oversimplification on Gavin’s part.

Best known for being the singer and songwriter for the multimillion-selling British rock band Bush, in recent years, he’s been the subject of the international tabloids as part of a famous marriage to Gwen Stefani of the bandNo Doubt, enjoyed roles in such movies as Constantine and The Game of Their Lives, and he has a new band with a new record.

Music is clearly Gavin Rossdale’s original love, and he has returned in a rather big, loud way. Gavin had previously experimented being a solo artist - collaborating with the Blue Man Group on the song “The Current” on the album, The Complex; and also having success with the song, “Adrenaline” from the soundtrack to the movie, XxX.

But this new project is something quite different. INSTITUTE is a new group, and Gavin is eager to point out that the band’s debut full-length album is very much a product of collaboration. “INSTITUTE is not a solo thing,” he says, “because I didn’t do it alone, just some of it” As he explains, the word “institute” refers to a “cultural collective”: Far from being a “solo project,” INSTITUTE was a product of everyone’s input and suggestions.
