Institute

**Institute** was an American rock band featuring Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale. The band's only album, *Distort Yourself*, was released on September 13, 2005.

## Biography

Institute was formed in 2004 in the wake of a hiatus of lead singer Gavin Rossdale's other band, Bush. Rossdale formed Institute with Chris Traynor (who had previously played with bands including Bush and Helmet) when Bush agreed upon taking a break after their last album, *Golden State*. The two later enlisted the help of bassist Cache Tolman (of Rival Schools fame) and drummer Josh Freese. Freese was only enlisted temporarily, as the band needed a drummer for the recording of their first album, *Distort Yourself*. Rossdale later recruited Charlie Walker (known for his work with Split Lip and Chamberlain, in addition to a temporary stint in Helmet) to take Freese's spot and round out the band.

After reuniting with Interscope Records (Interscope released Bush's first three albums), Rossdale started work on *Distort Yourself* with Interscope Producer and Helmet frontman, Page Hamilton. Rossdale chose Hamilton to produce the band's debut album after being told Hamilton could provide the guitar sound that he was looking for. Though not known for producing rock ballads, Hamilton also proved keen towards Rossdale's lighter songs, such as "Ambulances", which featured Gavin's then-wife, Gwen Stefani, singer of No Doubt and successful solo artist.

*Distort Yourself* was released on September 13, 2005, and debuted at No. 81 on the Billboard Top 200 Album Charts, with first-week sales slightly over 12,000. The album's first single, "Bulletproof Skin", reached a peak of number 28 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart and 29 on the Billboard Modern Rock Chart. It was also performed on various television programs and achieved significant radio play. The album also gained traction from being included in the main menu of the hockey video game *NHL 06* from EA Sports and its inclusion in the big-budget motion picture *Stealth*.

Institute played numerous Bush songs live, including "Machinehead", "The People that We Love", "Swallowed", an acoustic version of "Comedown", and "Glycerine". They also performed on *The Tyra Banks Show* with Banks after Rossdale gave her some guitar lessons.

In late 2005, Institute opened for U2 on several of their Vertigo Tour dates. As of 2007, there were no plans for Institute to continue activity as a band

**Green Day** is an American rock band formed in the East Bay of California in 1987 by lead vocalist and guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong, together with bassist and backing vocalist Mike Dirnt. For most of the band's career, they have been a power trio with drummer Tré Cool, who replaced John Kiffmeyer in 1990 before the recording of the band's second studio album, *Kerplunk* (1991). Before taking its current name in 1989, Green Day was called **Sweet Children**, and they were part of the late 1980s/early 1990s Bay Area punk scene that emerged from the 924 Gilman Street club in Berkeley, California.

## Biography

The band's early releases were with the independent record label Lookout! Records. In 1994, their major-label debut *Dookie*, released through Reprise Records, became a breakout success and eventually shipped over 10 million copies in the U.S. Alongside fellow California punk bands Bad Religion, The Offspring, Rancid, NOFX, Pennywise and Social Distortion, Green Day is credited with popularizing mainstream interest in punk rock in the U.S.

Though the albums *Insomniac* (1995), *Nimrod* (1997), and *Warning* (2000) did not match the success of *Dookie*, they were still successful, with the first two reaching double platinum status, while the last achieved gold. Green Day's seventh album, a rock opera called *American Idiot* (2004), found popularity with a younger generation, selling six million copies in the U.S. Their next album, *21st Century Breakdown*, was released in 2009 and achieved the band's best chart performance. It was followed by a trilogy of albums, *¡Uno!*, *¡Dos!*, and *¡Tré!*, released in September, November, and December 2012, respectively. The trilogy did not perform as well as expected commercially, in comparison to their previous albums, largely due to a lack of promotion and Armstrong entering rehab. Their twelfth studio album, *Revolution Radio*, was released in October 2016 and became their third to debut at No. 1 on the *Billboard* 200. The band's thirteenth studio album, *Father of All Motherfuckers*, was released on February 7, 2020 and was their final album released by Reprise.

In 2010, a stage adaptation of *American Idiot* debuted on Broadway.

The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2015, their first year of eligibility. Members of the band have collaborated on the side projects Pinhead Gunpowder, The Network, Foxboro Hot Tubs, The Longshot, and The Coverups. They have also worked on solo careers.

Green Day has sold more than 75 million records worldwide, making them one of the world's bestselling artists. The group has been nominated for 20 Grammy awards and has won five of them with Best Alternative Album for *Dookie*, Best Rock Album for *American Idiot* and *21st Century Breakdown*, Record of the Year for "Boulevard of Broken Dreams", and Best Musical Show Album for *American Idiot: The Original Broadway Cast Recording*.

## Biography

Born and raised in Dublin, he attended Mount Temple Comprehensive School where in 1976 he began dating his future wife, Alison Stewart, as well as forming, with schoolmates, the band that became U2. Bono soon established himself as a passionate frontman for the band through his expressive vocal style and grandiose gestures and songwriting. His lyrics frequently include social and political themes, and religious imagery inspired by his Christian beliefs. During U2's early years, Bono's lyrics contributed to the group's rebellious and spiritual tone. As the band matured, his lyrics became inspired more by personal experiences shared with the other members. As a member of U2, Bono has received 22 Grammy Awards and has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Aside from his music, Bono is an activist for social justice causes, both through U2 and as an individual.

In pursuit of these causes, he has participated in benefit concerts and lobbied politicians and heads of state for relief. Bono has been honoured for his philanthropic efforts. In 2005, Bono was named one of the *Time* Persons of the Year. He was granted an honorary knighthood by Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom in 2007 for "his services to the music industry and for his humanitarian work", and was made a Commandeur of the French Ordre des Arts et des Lettres (Order of Arts and Letters) in 2013. Bono has also attracted criticism for bypassing African businesses in his activist efforts and for tax avoidance in his personal finances.

Outside the band, he has recorded with numerous artists. He has collaborated with U2 bandmate The Edge on several projects, including: songs for Roy Orbison, Tina Turner, and Martin Garrix; and the soundtracks to the musical *Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark* and a London stage adaptation of *A Clockwork Orange*.
