Templeton Pek – 30 Seconds Too Far
UK Rock trio TEMPLETON PEK are set to release a 30 second single “Thirty Seconds Too Far” on January 31st, along with a full blown music video to accompany it. The release is an attempt to chart as the shortest song officially released ever in the UK.
The band, a credible seasoned touring act in their own right, from club tours to arena shows, feels like shaking up the system. “We really wanted to release something that makes a statement and impact in the industry. The current machine churns out and revolves around 3 minute 30 second generic songs,’ because the ‘industry’ dictates that. So we thought we’d go against the grain…” explains singer Neal Mitchell. “The whole point of the release is to show you don’t have to follow the formula, you can be free to do what you want.”
TP are gearing up for the release of their eagerly awaited second album ‘Scratches & Scars’ on February 18th (EU) & 21st (UK) and are purveyors in the art of DIY. Not only did they write their forthcoming release they recorded and produced it themselves. “Basically we felt the only people who could fully represent what we’re trying to do on this album were ourselves. It was a massive learning curve and we poured in our combined experience of touring and production, to produce something that we are all massively proud of. The result is something that isn’t watered down by going through the industry ‘assembly line’ process.”
Release date for ‘Thirty Seconds Too Far’ is scheduled for January 31st 2011. The Campaign is backed by sponsors DC Shoes and Monster Energy Drink. Along with Ibanez, Laney, and Tama Drums.
