With a new album released in September 2019, Temples are all set to hit the road in early 2020, exhibiting Hot Motion around the UK to a handful of selected venues.

The band's third full length release saw them bring back the guitars and make a top class psych record, with both the album's title track and follow up single 'You're Either On Something' demonstrating a band at their very best (the rest of the album isn't bad either).

In our chat with Temples earlier this year, James Bagshaw, lead singer of the band, told us:

"I think it is special. I think it's a bit of a rotten time for guitar music, in popular culture anyway. There's a lot of bands that are good but it's quite a refreshing record. It's a guitar record, that doesn't mean that it's - it's not guitar heavy like Oasis with overdriven guitar over the whole thing. It's still like considered in terms of sound design and making it a unique record sound wise - but its very guitar driven."

In the new year they will bring all this and more to a handful of dates that include iconic indie institution The Leadmill in Sheffield and one of Liverpool's finest live music venues, The Zanzibar. They'll also be playing shows in London, Glasgow, Derby, Manchester, Leicester and Oxford, following an extensive tour of the States.

You can find Temples tickets below from 10am on Friday 6th December.
