Background notes
Archive material and source history
History Teachers formed in London in 2003 around Alex Kapranos, Nick McCarthy, and Russell Lissack. They released their debut album 'History Teachers Do It Better' in 2005.
They put out several more albums over the next few years, including 'Heaven's Well' in 2007 and 'Modern Love' in 2012. Their sound mixed indie rock with some electronic touches. The lineup changed at times, with Liane Wright and Richie Madden joining on bass and drums later on.
They worked with other artists like Cold War Kids and Florence + the Machine. The band maintained a following, particularly for their earlier, more energetic material. 'Fleas On Rats' stayed a notable track in their catalog.
