Distort Yourself is the debut and sole album by Institute, a band featuring former Bush's frontman Gavin Rossdale. It was released on September 13, 2005 and debuted at #81 on the Billboard Top 200 Album Charts with first week sales slightly over 12,000. Total U.S. sales as of April 2008 were only 54,000 copies.[1]

"Bullet Proof Skin" served as the album's single which reached #28 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart and #29 on the Billboard Modern Rock Chart. It had considerable radio airplay upon release and, in September 2005, was performed live on nearly every late night television program[2] as well as The Tyra Banks Show.[3] The song was featured on the Stealth soundtrack and the video game NHL 06.
