All Cylinders Are Firing For Birmingham Punks Templeton Pek As They Unleash Artifact

25/8/2025

Templeton Pek
Artifact
Birmingham

The never-ending work of the heavy-duty punk trio Templeton Pek continues. Fresh from touring with Hell Is For Heroes, Urethane, Bodyjar, and a live show with Less Than Jake, the boys are back, and they’ve put together Artifact. A statement about the urgency of these times, in whatever direction you happen to look, the confrontational lyrics tackle the entire spectrum. Savages comes out at the beginning of October and this single from the album will be just the beginning when it comes to fresh and ferocious energy. In the ten years since they started, Templeton Pek have relentlessly released music and performed on parallel schedules. Heavier than ever and with the ball comprehensively rolling, can you handle Artifact?

Harmonising chords and aggressive, sweary lyrics punch open the concrete wall with swaggering ease as melodic heaviness munches on loud and passionate drumming. An infectious layering of riff and lyric brings out a spinning feel that throws us from side to side, holding on whited knuckled. The masculine energy rips through the progression with brilliant craftsmanship meeting emotional insistency along frantic and intelligent deliveries of punk rock. It’s got serious momentum, carrying us on and up through tidal barrages of power-chord and operatic vocal projection.
