English Teacher
Project: Come Play With Me, Leeds
Combining a sentimental yet sharp sense of quintessentially Northern storytelling with melodies that teeter between the idiosyncratic and the accessible, Leeds quartet English Teacher might have only revved fully into gear less than two years ago, but are already carving out a niche that feels singular. Formed in and around Leeds University, English Teacher have been handpicked to support Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Parquet Courts and Yard Act, receiving early doors support from NME, DIY and BBC 6 Music as well as placing second in Glastonbury Festival’s Emerging Talent competition along the way. They are signed to Island Records.
English Teacher won the Rising Star Award (Artist) at the Youth Music Awards 2022.
