Temples

About

Temples are an English neo-psychedelic rock band from Kettering, formed in 2012 by singer-guitarist James Bagshaw and bassist Tom Walmsley, later joined by keyboardist Adam Smith and drummer Rens Ottink. Their 2014 debut Sun Structures hit number seven on the UK Albums Chart and established them as one of the leading acts in the British psychedelic revival. Over five studio albums they have steadily pushed their sound forward - their 2026 record BLISS, released via V2 Records, pulls in late-'90s dance and electronic influences alongside their signature psych-rock DNA.
