Meta, self-deprecating, and occasionally earnest, Project Culture began at Queen Mary University in London, where singer/songwriter Gary Hill started a music society that hosted live music nights at the university's student bar and at pubs in the area. The society helped create a close-knit group of music lovers, and through these friendships, the band formed. The Indie Rock 4-piece is inspired by The Smiths, The Strokes, Pixies, and The Velvet Underground, with Gary citing Car Seat Headrest and Father John Misty as his biggest lyrical influences, valuing their ability to be both ironic and moving within the same song.

Though the new line-up has only been together since late 2019, they’ve already had 3 of their songs played on BBC Introducing, with their debut single Character Actor being lauded for its “post-punk energy and the sense of urgency in the songwriting”. The song is about always feeling like a supporting player in the big moments in life, with the protagonist trying to appear normal during a night out, reinforced by the band drawing from the sounds of the Indie Disco classics that the band members grew up with. Their second single The Elephant Room drew more from their post-punk side, with CUB Magazine declaring it to be a mission statement from the band, praising the songwriting for being both tongue-in-cheek and heartfelt at the same time, and Hill’s affinity for “addressing and transforming clichés into original turns of phrase”. Both songs show off of the broad scope of references in the band’s lyrics, be they references to classic literature, TV tropes, or banal self-help phrases, with Project Culture re-purposing and deconstructing these themes, in an effort to create something new and cathartic out of them
