They are mentioned in the same breath as legends like the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin or Fleetwood Mac. Many bands have already been compared to these music giants, but only a few follow in their footsteps as authentically and passionately as The Temperance Movement. Founded in 2001 in Bishopbriggs, Scotland, their sound is more reminiscent of the southern states of the USA than of British coolness. The original line-up of lead singer Phil Campbell, guitarists Luke Potashnick and Paul Sayer, bassist Nick Fyffe and drummer Damon Wilson formed from a shared passion for classic blues rock. The members brought with them experience from well-known projects such as Rooster, Jamiroquai and The Waterboys - a mixture that is reflected in their clear and powerful sound. The band first attracted attention in the fall of 2012 when they performed at the legendary Royal Albert Hall at the Sunflower Super Jam. There they presented their debut EP "Pride" for the first time, which was released in summer 2013. Their self-titled debut album followed shortly afterwards and promptly reached the top 20 of the British album charts. The Temperance Movement earned a reputation as a spectacular live band early on. The experienced musicians harmonize perfectly with each other - their concerts are an experience that ranges from perfect precision to spontaneous jam sessions. They have already been able to demonstrate this energy as a support act for the Rolling Stones, among others. The sound of their second album "White Bear" (2016) seamlessly followed on from the first and was received just as enthusiastically by fans and critics alike. After a few line-up changes - Matt White took over on guitar for Luke Potashnick and Damon Wilson was replaced by Simon Lea - their third album "A Deeper Cut" followed in 2018. With this album, the band returned to their musical roots and cemented their status as one of the most outstanding blues-rock bands of their time. After the departure of frontman Phil Campbell in 2020, the future of the band seemed uncertain, but now the time is ripe for a brilliant comeback: Five years after their last concerts, The Temperance Movement will return to the stage in 2025 and will also play four exclusive concerts in Germany! With the return of founding members Phil Campbell and Luke Potashnick, fans can look forward to a band that not only brings musical skill, but also boundless joy of playing. The Temperance Movement are back - powerful, passionate and full of energy!
