About this event
Temples’ name has become synonymous with a band with an adventurous spirit; constantly exploring new ideas. The British band formed in Kettering, England consists of James Bagshaw (vocals/guitar), Thomas Walmsley (bass), Adam Smith (keyboards/guitar), and Rens Ottink (drums). On their fifth album, BLISS, they shake up the perception of the Kettering-formed four-piece with a record that ventures into electronic territory while staying true to their core DNA. Euphoric and melancholic melodies of late ‘90s dance music blend with psych-tinged riffs and loops to create something fresh. Their new single “Vendetta” perfectly embodies this shift — fusing scuzzy guitar riffs with laser-like synths and a bubbling, dancefloor-ready pulse. Originally built from two separate ideas, the track finds its strength in contrast, resulting in a thrillingly unpredictable and high-energy release. With its push-and-pull between indie grit and electronic euphoria, “Vendetta” captures the essence of BLISS: instinctive, bold, and irresistibly kinetic.
