The Artist: The Institutes - "I just can't keep myself from loving you"

Coventry’s band THE INSTITUTES released their latest single "I JUST CAN’T KEEP MYSELF FROM LOVING YOU" on Friday 11th June. This is the 2nd single for 42's Records, and is taken from their Debut album ‘Colosseums’ which will be released late this year.  
It’s a song about passionate unconditional love for something or someone, without any choice, no matter what they put you through, no matter what they think of you or what they give in return. Love-Hate relationships, addictions anything that might be a burden of love, a commitment of passion and pain”, said vocalist Reid Zappa Currie. 
So we have to say Achtung: Here they come, with pure indie gold in their pockets, the Institutes.

THE INSTITUTES are:

Reid Zappa Currie - Vocals, Guitar  

Andy Hall - Guitar , Backing Vocals
