Five years since their fifth album, Watching The World Come Undone, Birmingham, UK punks Templeton Pek have released a lyric video for their new track, “Perfect Storm”. While there is no direct mention of an album just yet, this is the first in a new series of songs. Check it out below.

The band comments: “We chose “Perfect Storm” for the first release from a new batch of material as it’s pretty fitting considering we have been away for a while, and I think everyone can relate to the message given the events that have taken place recently.”
“It’s about riding through a crisis, and how going through that can actually be a positive thing and a perfect tool for change. But, on the flip side it can also allow the corrupt to take advantage whilst offering a smokescreen to distract from their exploits.”
More from Templeton Pek:
Ever since their formation in 2005, Templeton Pek draws influences from their anger at a shift in the worlds political landscape. The band has shared stages with The Offspring, Rise Against, Bad Religion, Sum 41, NOFX, Alkaline Trio, Lagwagon, Millencolin, Zebrahead, Ignite, Pennywise and many more, touring mainland Europe and the UK.
Their new single, “Perfect Storm”, was written, recorded, mixed and mastered entirely in the UK. “We recorded in our hometown of Birmingham at Vada Studios over a year period, under the guidance of producer/mixer George Perks (Enter Shikari, Skindred) and mastered at the legendary Metropolis Studios London by Andy ‘Hippy’ Baldwin,“ the band adds. “Could this be a thinly veiled barb directed at the despicable behaviour of certain publicly schooled leaders taking advantage of a crisis, benefiting from it, whilst facing zero repercussions?… or is it just a song about the weather? You decide.”
“Either way, we wanted to take our time, come back stronger, have something to say and deliver the best songs we possibly could. So, welcome to the new storm…There are more coming on the horizon!”
