About

Recently signed to Island records, English Teacher came together during their time at Leeds College of Music. Influenced by the city's vibrant music scene and genres like jazz, classical, folk and the post-punk resurgence, they aim to create music that is biting, punkish and melodic, with Lily Fontaine's lyrics blend personal, political, poignant, humorous, and heavy themes. Their debut EP ‘Polyawkward’ earned them a place as runners-up in Glastonbury Rising competition and support slots for bands such as the Yeah Yeah Yeah's and Parquet Courts.
