Surely Tempo are a Californian indie rock band that sound somewhat similar to British contemporaries such as Eades, The Reytons and Cucamaras. On their new, self-titled full-length, Alex Johnathan Martienz (vocals, rhythm guitar), Raymond Pardo (bass), David Ismodes (guitar) and Paul Florindo (drums) blast through 12 energetic and dynamic songs in 34 minutes. Fine melodies, clever hooks, effective tempo changes (of course), guitar bursts in the right places and – last but not least – charismatic vocals, they tick everything. If they also can convey this live in some way, this could easily become a festival favorite.
Surely Tempo, produced/mixed/mastered by Bryan Farrell, is out now digitally via Numlock.
