The Trouble With Templeton

If you are one of the those who has read this blog from it's beginnings then you would have a pretty good idea by now about what music really brings out my passion, if your new to the blog then you have stumbled upon it in a week that has me very excited.

The Trouble With Templeton - if it rings a bell it's probably because you grew up in the nineties and saw an episode of the cult sensation The Twilight Zone, let me introduce you to Brisbane band of the same name (and yes they have confirmed the direct link between the two)!

The Five piece Indi Rock group that was formed around the versatile vocal skill of Thomas Carter has everything it takes to make a name for themselves on the big stage.  Independently, Carter is a guitar playing singer songwriter that can match it with the best, if fact I would put him above and beyond many with much higher credentials.  Combine this immense talent with his relatively new band and you have a sound that is a pleasure to the ears of anyone looking for some sensational new Australian music.

Described by Carter himself as "A headphones  album" the debut release 'Bleeders' is a powerful and bold introduction to the music world.  Intense, chilling and incredibly absorbing, this album floatsseamlessly between sweetly soft vocalsand emotionally driven rawness.

The Trouble With Templeton is gripping, it's a bit acoustic, a bit folky, a bit Indi Rock and rests somewhat perfectly in a big old cloud of melancholy....

This track is called 'Someday Soon', my pick of the album.

The second track is their latest release 'Six months in a cast', a little more upbeat and rocky and yet another cracker of a track! (you can also follow the link below the video to the bands website where you can listen to the entire album).
