The Temperance Movement
Gritty, soulful blues rock that sounds like a lost 1970s master tape. Raw vocals and dual-guitar grooves for long drives and late nights in crowded bars.

The Temperance Movement is a British blues rock ensemble that emerged in 2011 as a 'supergroup' of seasoned session musicians and former members of established acts like Jamiroquai and The Waterboys. Their sound identity is rooted in the British blues-rock explosion of the late 60s and early 70s, specifically channeling the soulful grit of Free, The Faces, and early Rolling Stones.
Unlike many 'retro-rock' acts that focus on volume, The Temperance Movement emphasizes groove, vocal soul, and organic production. Their career arc saw a rapid rise with their 2013 debut, leading to high-profile support slots for The Rolling Stones. The departure of founding guitarist Luke Potashnick in 2015 marked a shift toward the more experimental 'White Bear' and the refined 'A Deeper Cut,' though they maintained a reputation for high-intensity live performances. Critical consensus highlights their technical proficiency and Campbell's standout vocals as their primary strengths, positioning them as leaders of the New Wave of Classic Rock (NWOCR) movement alongside peers like Rival Sons.
