TEMPT celebrate official release of new EP with performance supporting Tom Kiefer

New York City based rockers, Tempt who made their debut earlier this year at Rocklahoma are set to release their new EP, Under My Skin on iTunes, Amazon and a physical CD. The EP was previously only available as a limited edition collectors item released for the band’s appearance at Rocklahoma where the pressing sold out. They will celebrate the official release on July 29th as they will be performing as support for one of my favorites, Tom Keifer at BB Kings in New York City. That is one show I wish I could make it out to!

Zach Allen, the19 year old lead singer of the group explained “we’re starting to get some radio play of other cuts beyond the single and fans want the EP.” Harrison Marcello, guitarist added, “It’s great to start to hear guitar solos and up beat rock on the radio again!” The band also stressed that the EP will not be available to streaming services. “We believe that our fans want to hold an album, see the credits and have more of an experience than a streaming service provides. We also believe that our fans want to support us and our music and they understand that streaming does not do that.”

I completely agree that holding a CD or downloading an entire EP is so much more important than streaming. In this day and age, buying a band’s EP or merch is the one sure way that you can truly show your support and we strongly encourage it! We can’t wait to pick our copy up!

The band chose this show to coincide with the official release date because of their admiration of Tom Keifer. “We had the chance to see Tom perform at Rocklahoma and he is just incredible.” “Of Course we are huge fans and count Tom among our influences so being able to play with him is incredible”.

We will bring you our review of Under My Skin soon and can’t wait to catch Tempt out on a tour soon. We had the chance to interview Tempt earlier this year before they headed out to Rocklahoma. In case you missed it, you can check it out here: Interview with Tempt.

The New York City based Tempt is Zach Allen (vocals), Harrison Marcello (guitars, keyboards, vocals), Zak Gross (bass, vocals), and Jimmi Kane (drums). Together these four are breathing the life back in to rock and roll with their big sound. Their music is highly guitar driven, up-tempo rock that will have you with your fist in the air and ready to party.

Make sure to visit their social media sites and stay up to date on their latest news. You will be hearing a lot from this young promising band as they bring life back to straight up rock n roll!
