TheTempted

Newcastle - the Killing Time EP out now!!

About Me


TheTempted are an alternative melodic rock trio, whos self-penned songs combine driving rhythms with sky-high choruses.
TheTempted are primarily a live band, taking their sound across the region to as many places as they can. Their sound is fresh, their energy is high and their shows are breathtaking.
TheTempted have just released their first EP, the Killing Time EP. Previews of all three songs can be heard on here. The EP will be on sale at every gig we do, and it contains an exclusive website, which is the most effective way to keep in touch with the band.
At the heart of the TheTempted lies an intense mixture of melody and harmony, truth and poetry, life and death, love and loss. Lyrically, TheTempted honestly explore the questions raised by the life and words of Jesus. Staying well away from conventional clichés and well-trodden paths, TheTempted are finding their own road.
Musically, the band draw on influences such as The Beatles, U2, Bob Dylan, The Police, Delirious, Tree63, Kevin Max, Jeff Buckley, Led Zeppelin, Snow Patrol, Coldplay, Johnny Cash.
