WHATS THE STORY...
Tempercalm..... 3 guys, 3 different suburb towns. All coming together in a place of magic, a mysterious land of dreams and possibilities. Well I suppose some people think of Glasgow that way
The band spent most of 2007 writing and recording "True Novella", the follow up to 2005's "So Ventura" EP which spawned the single "I Need A Co-Pilot", featured in the smash hit XBOX 360 game "Saints Row". Tempercalm quite liked being in a computer game, it was lovely. National radio picked up upon "I Need A Co-Pilot", with dozens of DJ's around the UK and Europe spinning the single and grabbing the attention of anyone who was listening
With debut album TRUE NOVELLA now available, the band are more set than ever before and will no doubt have you down the front row singing along by the end of the year
SAINTS ROW - Xbox360 Tempercalm were headhunted to be featured in the absolutely gangster-iffic XBOX 360 game, Saints Row. "I Need A Co-Pilot", taken from "So Ventura", will randomly smack you in the ears as you drive through the game and knock down pimps, regular joes and the elderly. It's a great game.
The game is available worldwide on the XBOX 360 platform, and a year on from it's release, has sold approximately 1,500,000 copies.
WHAT THE CRITICS HAVE SAID "...destined for big things..."
"...another promising UK band..."
"...jaw dropping excellence of songwriting and arranging..."
"...the age of the power trio is not dead as this band from Scotland clearly testifies..."
DEAD ERNEST
"...They make the stage look 6 inches wide with their grasping presence..." - SONY MUSIC
...a good hang of dynamics, thumping drums and other jiggery-pokery that record labels ordinarily sell their collective septum for... - New Noise.net
...their taste for refined emotion is the flavour present in some excitingly bold guitar solos all backed up with a very strong drummer indeed... - Preston Mitre - Live Review
"...I'm glad I've been introduced to this band..." - Martin Bates
