Instant Species

**Instant Species** is a dynamic indie rock outfit hailing from Phoenix, Arizona, known for their genre-blurring sound and DIY ethos. Formed in the early 2000s by multi-instrumentalist John O’Reilly, the band has carved out a niche in the underground scene with their mix of gritty rock, punk energy, and experimental twists. Their lyrics often tackle introspective and socially charged themes, delivered with raw authenticity. Over the years, they’ve maintained a steady stream of releases, including EPs like *The Devils Hand* and *Lately They Hate Me*, showcasing their evolution while staying true to their roots. Recent drops like *Actually, you are* and the 10th-anniversary reissue of *Robert the Bruce’s Spider* highlight their enduring creativity and connection to fans who crave music that’s both thought-provoking and unapologetically loud.
