#193. Mat Peters on IST IST’s New Album ‘Light a Bigger Fire’

In Episode #193 of The XS Noize Podcast, host Mark Millar speaks to Mat Peters from Manchester four-piece IST IST about their fourth studio album, Light a Bigger Fire. IST IST will release its eagerly anticipated fourth album, Light A Bigger Fire, on Friday, September 20th. It is the follow-up to the Top 50 record Protagonists.

IST IST has forged a formidable reputation from uncompromisingly intense live shows, a fierce Mancunian DIY work ethic, and an ever-growing back catalogue of successful studio and live releases; all self-released through their own Kind Violence Records imprint.

Joe Cross's production skills were enlisted for Light a Bigger Fire, whose impressive CV features Courteeners, Hurts, Louis Tomlinson, and the Slow Readers Club.

Mat Peters talks about writing and recording the album, upcoming live shows, and more in this interview.
