Temper Temper aim to annihilate the scene with a blend of punked up rock meshed with pop metal axework and at times, GN'R style guitar riffs infused with an electro sensibility. This is really an album for those who the more punk side of things but maintains a certain amount of crossover appeal. 'Delicate Limp' is an example of the bands mellower side. The track features a disco type of beat and things really don't build up to where they are heavy until later on in the song. The opening cut 'Trust Me' is pure electro with a grungy bluesy riff that gives the tune a manic feeling that is very catchy and listenable. 'Bleed For Me Comrade' contains a bluesy riff again, while 'Heart Like A Fist' is driving and unstable. The Hammond sounding organ sound at times overpowers the crunchy guitars and could stand to be further down in the mix here, but that's the only real complaint. 'Terror Tongue In Cheek' has a heavy chorus that again is drowned out by organ. This seems to be a trend with many bands doing this kind of music these days. Unfortunately, it detracts from the power of the music. Willing to crossover into something a bit more pop punk? Then you would want to check this out, but for fans of straight up metal there's not too much here of interest unless you are very, very adventurous in terms of musical taste.

Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi was briefly a member of Jethro Tull band in the late '60s. Although he didn't record with the band, he appeared with Tull on the Rolling Stones' aborted 1968 TV special, Rock n' Roll Circus.
