Temperance Movement The Temperance Movement

2013, The Temperance Movement is a rich, deep blend of crafted harmonies, laconic rock'n'roll swagger and earthy, folk tinged, very British influences. Formed with the simplest of intentions, determined to play the kind of the music that displayed honesty and integrity, the band centred around the vulnerable grit of Glaswegian vocalist Phil Campbell and the organic interplay of guitarists Paul Sayer and Luke Potashnick. The Temperance Movement sound takes in smooth introspection (,,Pride"), rock'n'n roll strut (,,Only Friend") and lovelorn defiance (,,Lovers And Fighters"). The band's debut, self titled album, is an authentic collection of songs that possesses a warm, homely sound that does away with studio trickery and instead embraces a lively, upfront atmosphere that gives songs like ,,Take It Back" an everyman feel. Instruments and voices have room to breathe and leave space for you to take the music for what it is - honest, soulful and believable.
