In almost a decade of whirlwind brilliance and exhaustion, English Teacher has shot from the classrooms of Leeds Conservatoire to the covers of NME. Led by the witty and talented Lily Fontaine, who juggles vocals, guitar, and synth like a seasoned circus performer, the band has made a name for themselves with their unique sound. Joined by Lewis Whiting, Douglas Frost, and Nicholas Eden, they’ve charmed everyone from Glastonbury-goers to the Brooklyn hipsters at Elsewhere. Now, having just released debut album ‘This Could Be Texas’, they reflect on their journey with the humility of true rock stars: self-deprecating, anxious, and undeniably groundbreaking.
