Instruction were an alternative rock band that formed in 2002 in Brooklyn, New York. The band consisted of lead vocalist Arthur Shepherd, bassist Adam Marino, lead guitarist Tom Capone and drummer Ti Kreck.
Details of when the band originated are very obscure but they started to tour at the back end of 2002 with the official website stating the first date of their tour being December 19, 2002 at the Cavern in Exeter, England.
The band played a few gigs in Boston and back in their home city of Brooklyn before starting an extensive tour of the United Kingdom with the whole of 2003 being played in places such as Glasgow, Manchester, Norwich, Leicester, London & Middlesbrough. Nineteen of those dates were played with up and coming Welsh band Funeral for a Friend.
Instruction's original EP was released through Gravity DIP Records. This EP, paired with the loyal following their successful UK tour gave them, led to an appearance at the Download Festival in 2003. After a series of gigs after the Download Festival with Biffy Clyro and Hundred Reasons, the band was signed to Geffen Records for the release of their first major album, God Doesn't Care
Before the release of the new album the band recruited Joseph Grillo to the band on guitar/vocals from Garrison, a band that Instruction toured with during October 2003.
One of the songs from the hotly anticipated album, Breakdown was already gaining cult status and the video of the subsequent song topped the bill of Fuse TV's Ovenfresh show, beating off competition from the likes of New Found Glory, Beastie Boys and The Libertines.
