Replete with the sort of Americana instrumentation the lyrics deserve, and the indie guitar work we crave - great stories; rock guitar shredding; pastoral twang; and top quality performances. This is the sort of album you discover and play obsessively.

TEMPLE CANYON is nostalgic rocky canyon magic brewing in Seattle, WA. Laurel Canyon-inspired psychedelic folk rock with a penchant for reverb-laden rockouts and hushed intimate spontaneity. A rapturous transference of memories and hallucinations through sound.   "Glimpses of Stevie Nicks and Grace Potter & the Nocturnals are sprinkled about this band, with its fiery vocal punches and sultry guitar licks." - Here & Now Media   “From the big drums to the strummy/stabby guitar interplay to the woozy keyboard lines, it’s hard not to hear some of the best elements of ’80s alternative pop at play here." - Levi Fuller - Ball Of Wax Quarterly   "Heavy, but utterly transcendent anthems of adventure and discovery."  - Chris Estey - Big Freak Media // KEXP 90.3 FM // XO Publicity "Constant juxtaposing of darkest and lightest feelings and experiences, sonically going as far as possible from one polarity to the other. You thought you were listening to Heart, but then all of a sudden it’s sounding more like The Gits."  - Northwest Music Scene
