The Templars

SHORT HAIR, HEAVY BOOTS... BIG BEAT!!

About Me

Formed by Carl & Phil in 1990, at a time where creativity was at an all time low for Oi! Oi! music. Their first gig in 1992, placed NYC back on the map along with "brother band" Oxblood (RIP). Both bands put the boot back in bootboy music, playing for anyone who give them a chance...
