THE TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT – NEW PROMISE LAND INCORPORATED – ALBUM REVIEW

The rise of rock n’ roll ensemble The Temperance Movement was fast as the band went from tentative early shows to supporting The Rolling Stones and making a real mark in the new wave of classic rock that emerged in the 2010’s.

Acclaimed albums, big tours and much success followed before in 2020 fans were shocked when singer Phil Campbell left and the band collapsed into nothingness.

Various bands and projects have followed for the members. Campbell in particular targeted overcoming personal demons and getting himself back on track and despite health challenges, he has done just that. The band reforming and revisiting the basics of what made them so special at the beginning with a reunion tour now in the books.

What follows that? A new album of course! ‘New Promise Land Incorporated’, is the bands first album of new music in eight years and again finds them following that back-to-basics approach. Playing live in a room with producer Ethan Johns and capturing the raw, authentic rock n’ roll sound that was their signature.

With original guitarist Luke Potashnick back in the fold too, this feels like a long overdue exorcism of the past. The album oozes blues rock grit and is a testament to the staying power of people and friendship.

These tracks are personal, but they also analyse modern living as the band grapple with finding solace in their roots. Long term fans will find this to be the fabled return to form and as classic rock again is showing its longevity, new fans will also find this to be a good starting point.

It’s great to have The Temperance Movement back!
