“A potent force in British rock
music has arrived,” proclaimed MOJO in their 5-STAR review, and well,
yes they have. Driven by the gritty, soulful vocals of Phil Campbell,
the mastery of guitarists Paul Sayer and Luke Potashnick and a
powerhouse of a rhythm section delivered by Nick Fyffe on bass and Damon Wilson
on drums, The Temperance Movement is set to splash down stateside with the
release of their 12-song, self-titled debut album on February 3rd, 2015 via
Fantasy/Concord records (album details below).
Live on arrival, the U.K.
five-piece is bracing for maximum impact having just been selected as the next iHeartRadio
On The Verge Artist, a six week program that begins on February 16th and
includes on-air exposure as well as significant digital and social support
across iHeartMedia's network. The program is based on key tracks
and artists that iHeartMedia's programmers are collectively passionate about
and the highly successful program has proven instrumental in the development of
emerging acts such as Banks, Iggy Azalea, Tove Lov, Royal Blood and many
others. The vote of confidence from iHeartMedia, the leading media
company in America with a greater reach than any radio or television outlet,
assures massive audience exposure for the anthemic first single, “Take It
Back,” on radio stations across the country. Watch/listen to their video for "Take it Back" below, from B&T.
Electrifying fans of timeless,
British-invasion song craft and superb musicianship, The Temperance Movement
deftly fuse inspirations such as The Stones, Faces, Little Feat, Bobby Womack
and acknowledged catalysts The Black Crowes, into their own authentic blast of
blues’n’soul drenched rock’n’roll.
