Fresh off the bands sold out tours with Zebrahead and Millencolin, TEMPLETON PEK has been added to the SUMMER NATIONALS UK shows w/ OFFSPRING & BAD RELIGION in Birmingham, Glasgow & London this June!
“New Horizons” was recorded by Ken Seaton at The Porch in Hermosa Beach, CA. Mixed by Cameron Webb at Maple Studio in Santa Ana, CA.
“….an album with melodies that have hit-potential, driving parts and a good production, which makes you want to hear them live.” – Metal Hammer
“Anthemic wide-screen sound that is meant to be played in arenas.” – VISIONS Magazine
“Oozes in upbeat and overly catch choruses on each track making it hard to pick out a distinctive favourite.” – Big Cheese Magazine
“Huge Choruses, Saccharine lyrics, emotive vocals and quick tempos slickly produced and chockfull of ear candy.”
-Powerplay Rock and Metal Magazine
“Fast Post-Punk-Songs, somewhere in the middle between Rise Against and Face To Face. Definitely worth checking out!.” – FUZE Magazine
“Damage Control” is taken from the British three piece’s 4th studio album “New Horizons” recorded in Los Angeles, and released by LA based Hardline Entertainment.
“The song itself is about capitalising on bad situations and using them as a benefit, coming out of that limbo space, as well as being in control of of your own destiny. It is based on a real experience from us during the album previous to “New Horizons” and issues we were going through within the industry at the time, and people in our inner circle no less.
We felt like a lot of control had been taken from us and we weren’t represented how we wanted to be, things very nearly came to a head and a lot of negative things came from it, but we started writing this album which helped the situation and ultimately gave us some great songs with depth. But like most things in life this can be applied to anything.”

Birmingham England’s own veteran punk trio Templeton Pek premier the video for ” Fractures” off their fourth full length record entitled “New Horizons” Out Now via Hardline Entertainment. Headline and support tour dates below!
“Fractures” is fundamentally about the flaws we have in human nature. The initial line of thought was the state of the world in how we treat animals as a whole after watching documentaries like The Cove… which again is highlighted recently with the inexcusable barbaric events in Faroe Islands slaughtering because of a tradition. But the theme expands into environment and how we behave towards each other too, it seems human nature is hell bent on destroying itself and anything around it. The quote from Bob Irwin in the song sums the point up well, “it’s way past time we drew a line in the sand and we say enough is enough” and we start thinking about acting positively on our negatives before its too late to undo.” Neal Mitchell-Vocals/Bass

The 11 track album was recorded by Ken Seaton at The Porch in Hermosa Beach, CA and mixed by Cameron Webb (Motörhead, Sum 41, Lit, Pennywise) at Maple Studios in Santa Ana, CA.

“….“New Horizons” convinces you with fast Post-Punk-Songs, somewhere in the middle between Rise Against and Face To Face. Definitely worth checking out!.” -FUZE MAGAZINE
“….A mixture of melancholy and strength, that we haven´t heard from the UK since the best days of Therapy?, back in the mid-nineties…if you can resist melodies like in ´Fractures´, you´re a hopeless case…a great record that invites you to dive in deeper with every new spin.” -ROCK HARD MAGAZINE
“….Birmingham Trio deliver the goods for a fourth time in true punk style….infectiously radio friendly, this album Oozes in upbeat and overly catchy choruses on each track making it hard to pick out a distinctive favorite.” -BIG CHEESE MAGAZINE
“….This is all Huge Choruses, Saccharine lyrics, emotive vocals and quick tempos slickly produced and chockfull of ear candy.” POWERPLAY ROCK AND METAL MAGAZINE

More About Templeton Pek-
The band released “Signs” to critical acclaim in 2013 via Century Media Records. Produced by Shep Goodman (Four Year Strong, American Authors, Bayside) the album was recorded in New York City and contains songs which are now cemented in blistering live shows such as: “Barriers”, “Slow Burn”, “What Are Your Waiting For”, the radio friendly “Wake Me Up” and “Signs”
“… A BOLD, POWERFUL RECORD OF PUNKED-UP MELODIC ROCK THAT PACKS A REAL PUNCH“– Rock Sound Magazine (UK)
“…ROUSING POWER, HARMONIOUS COMBINATIONS OF ENERGETIC UP-BEATS, HOOKS AND MELANCHOLIC MELODIES.“– Rock Hard Magazine (DE)
“…CLEARLY AND DEFINITIVELY SETS ITSELF BETWEEN PUNK AND ROCK…AN INTERESTING MODERN ROCK ALBUM WITH A PUNK WAIVER.“– Metal Hammer (DE)
Having toured most of UK and Europe over their career since the release of their debut “No Association” in 2008, the band are well seasoned whether playing large festivals, Arenas, Academies or club shows. Sharing stages with the likes of: Sum 41, Rise Against, Taking Back Sunday, Bullet For My Valentine, Pendulum, Bad Religion, Alkaline Trio, All Time Low, Pennywise, Four Year Strong, Mindless Self Indulgence, Millencolin, Zebrahead, No use For A name and more.
Built with a DIY ethic engrained into them, the band even self recorded and self produced their sophomore album “Scratches & Scars” in 2011 to critical acclaim.
Whilst “Signs” was their most successful album to date, behind the scenes there was turmoil occurring without the bands knowledge resulting in an unamicable split with their management company as it collapsed mid campaign.
The band began writing again in early 2014, and now in contact with Ken Seaton of LA based label Hardline Entertainment who had expressed interest in the band. Accepting his offer of recording a new album in his studio The Porch in California, the band flew to the US and spent over a month living and recording in Hermosa beach, Los Angeles, hometown of Black Flag, Descendents, All and Pennywise. Following a productive session in LA, Cameron Webb (Motörhead, Sum 41, Lit, Pennywise, Ignite) then came onboard and mixed the album in Maple Studios, CA.
The band states: “Being in a town so rich in punk rock and specifically melodic punk rock inspired us to record “New Horizons” and make it sound the way it does. It’s definitely a new era for us as band on so many levels.”
The album is about using and building on the past, and that’s exactly the drive that the band has. Armed with a new label, new management, a new member and a new batch of songs that represent and sound like a band that has a new lease in life, the album title speaks for itself.
“Primarily it is a positive album about going back to writing songs that made us want to be in a band, or listen to bands in the first place and its an album about moving forward.”

Birmingham England’s own veteran punk trio Templeton Pek premier the lyric video for ” The Blindside” off their fourth full length record entitled “New Horizons” Out July 24th 2015 via Hardline Entertainment. Headline and support tour dates below!
“The song is about how people as a whole throw masses of bullshit at you in a vain attempt that some sticks just to distract your attention from real issues. The modern media and Rupert Murdoch in general are experts at it. Unfortunately it is also rife within the music industry and its about trying to make sense of those situations with positive actions, something we now have lots of experience in.” Neal Mitchell-Vocals/Bass
