Templeton Pek - Red Lights Flash

Sometimes, when you need an itch scratched, it needs to be done right now and quickly. Sure, it might be wiser to be patient and careful - a soothing salve, a light slap to the affected area - but doesn’t it just feel so satisfying to.  Please note, we are not doctors here at Rock Song of the Week, and anything that might sound like medical advice is very, very legally not that. But in terms of enjoying yourself? We know exactly where it’s at.

Hence, our immaculate track record of recorded tracks being recommended. Your mileage may vary on awareness of Birmingham, England’s uniquely named Templeton Pek, but rest assured, you’re unlikely to forget the name now you’ve heard what they’ve got to offer. They have been making excellent, politically charged punch for as long as they’ve been slinging their instruments across the world, and Red Lights Flash, our ever esteemed Rock Song of the Week pick, is a speedy little number full of both tempest and melody. It zips by at a thousand miles an hour without losing any craft, technicality, or grace, and is quick enough that you can fit a fair few in on your lunch break. Of all the melodic hardcore bands out there, here’s one you ought to have heard of sooner.
