Institute

Institute is the name used by at least two rock groups covered in these reviews: a Gavin Rossdale-led project that released Distort Yourself (2005) with production influence attributed to Page Hamilton, and an Austin, Texas band led by Moses Brown that released Subordination (2017) on Sacred Bones Records produced by Ben Greenberg.

From the reviews: Subordination (2017) is associated with Moses Brown, was released on Sacred Bones Records and produced by Ben Greenberg; Distort Yourself (2005) is the Gavin Rossdale-led project whose album production and guitar sound show the influence of Page Hamilton (Helmet). Distort Yourself includes singles such as "Bullet Proof Skin" and "Wasteland" according to the reviews. Reviews describe Subordination as raw punk/garage and Distort Yourself as heavier, more polished and grunge-influenced.

The reviews cover two distinct projects named Institute: a 2017 Austin-based release Subordination praised for its raw punk/garage directness, and the 2005 Gavin Rossdale-led Distort Yourself, noted for muscular, polished production but mixed songwriting results. Production personnel named include Ben Greenberg and Page Hamilton. Overall reception is mixed to positive.
