It took the suits some time to recognize that English Teacher are a damn fine band. Their full-length This Could Be Texas garnered rave reviews earlier this year, two years after the cognoscenti did the same for their debut EP Polyawkward. Now their label Island hopes to capitalize on their new found fame with a five track EP Live From BBC Maida Vale Studios.
Thankfully the band dug their heels in and played what they wanted to, including covers of Billie Ellish and LCD Soundsystem. For now it is a digital only release, but don't be surprised when it gets a release on vinyl in the near future (Black Friday, Record Store Day).
