About

Temples are a British neo-psychedelic rock band from Kettering, England, founded in 2012 by singer-guitarist James Bagshaw and bassist Tom Walmsley. Their debut album Sun Structures (2014) reached number seven on the UK Albums Chart and earned them international recognition, with Noel Gallagher among their notable admirers. Their fifth album, BLISS, arrives in June 2026 and marks a deliberate step into electronic and dance-influenced territory.
