Former Bush frontman joins members of Civ, Chamberlain, Helmet to form Institute

In an unusual development, according to this story, Gavin Rossdale of 90s act Bush has formed a new band called Institute with members of Civ, Chamberlain, Helmet, Rival Schools and others. Rather than take the solo route, Rossdale aimed to produce something "heavier" by teaming up with hardcore veterans. Specifically, Gavin is joined by former Helmet/ Orange 9mm guitarist Chris Traynor; bassist Cache "Utah Slim" Tolman, formerly of Civ, Rival Schools and "exploratory jazz metalloids" Iceburn; and drummer Charlie Walker (Chamberlain, Split Lip). The debut will be produced by Page Hamilton and is expected this fall.
