Texas Instruments has been played on NTS in shows including Loose Bones, featured first on 9 November 2015. Songs played include Before We Came To This Religion.

Originally a two-piece emotional hardcore band from Independence, Kansas, Texas Instruments formed in the summer of 2009. Later that year, they released a split cassette on their DIY label, Look At These Fucking Records, with Kansas City's Bottle Rocket. After five midwest tours in 2010, and a move to Kansas City, Missouri, Texas Instruments added a bass player in early 2011, shortly followed by another guitar player before an extensive eastern tour. They are now a three-piece with a different bassist. All of their material can be found here for free: http://texasinstrumentstheband.bandcamp.com/
