Brooklyn NY, United States (2002 – 2005)
Instruction were an alternative rock/post-grunge band that formed in 2002 in Brooklyn, New York. The band consisted of lead vocalist Arthur Shepherd, bassist Adam Marino, lead guitarist Tom Capone, and drummer Ti Kreck. The band announced a hiatus on 5, August 2005 after their final tour of the UK. They played their final show in Truro, England.
“The thunderous, screaming rock of Instruction can be traced back to its members’ days in Quicksand and Errortype: 11, but the real story is how this New York City unit got ignored at home, made the Brits fall in love with them, and then became the darlings of Geffen. Former Errortype: 11 members Adam Marino (bass), Ti Krek (drums), and Arty Shepherd (vocals) got together with former Quicksand guitarist Tom Capone in 2002. Word of mouth was helping them a bit in their home base, but the band knew its growth was too slow. With too many years behind him, Shepherd was especially eager. He figured that the gritty, rocking band had to make it soon or he was going to have to “pull out the stool” and “turn into Paul Weller.” That was just one of the quotes that endeared him and his band to the British press when Shepherd took Instruction to the U.K. in 2003. Shepherd bet that the smaller geography of the U.K. would make the word spread faster, and he was right. With The Great EP released on the small label Gravity in April, a U.

Saw these guys supporting Hell Is For Heroes back in 2004, they were mental. I seem to remember the frontman had a broken zip on his jeans and was afraid his dick would flop out halfway through the set...

I bought the Rise Up EP about 5 years ago. This band really should have been much bigger, now I consider them an unknown gem.
