Temple Balls is a hard rock band from Oulu, Finland.
In  the  time-tested  tradition  of  everyone  from  Aerosmith  to  Van  Halen,  it  is  the  driving,  hard  hitting  drum  beats,  the  massive  wall  of  bass,  incandescently  blazing  fretboard  wizardry  and  the  melodic  guitar  licks  that  lay  the  foundation  for  the  band’s  brazen  classic  rock  sound.  What  truly  sets  these  youngsters  apart  from  their  peers  is  their  sovereignty  in  things  that  really  matter:  memorable  refrains,  melodic  hooks,  heartfelt  lyrics  and  the  vocalist’s  uniquely  tinted  yet  classic  singing  style.

For the past couple of years Temple Balls has kept busy, both in the studio and on the stage. Opening for such bands like Queen, Deep Purple and Uriah Heep, the band has proven to be more than able to handle big stages as well. Whether it be a big festival or your local club’s stage, the band will set your friggin’ pants on fire.

The first official single  ’ Hell And Feelin’ Fine ’ was released on September 1st 2016 and got loads of airtime on Finnish Radio Rock. The debut album was recorded at Karma Sound Studios (Thailand) on May 2016, and saw the daylight on February 24th 2017. ’Traded Dreams’ was released via Finnish record label Ranka Kustannus whose captain is the founder of Spinefarm Records – the label behind such acts like Nightwish, Children of Bodom etc.
After the release in Finland the album was put out in Germany on May 5th via SoulFood Music and December 15th in Japan via Ward records. The album was produced by Tobias Lindell, who is known for his collaborations with such bands like Europe, Mustasch and H.E.A.T.

The fall of 2017 started with a sold-out tour across Finland with a big heavy metal magnet Battle Beast. The band also played in Japan for the first time and did a 5-day tour of Ukraine in late 2017. In April 2018 the guys did a two week tour across the Baltics and Eastern-Europe. During the fall of 2018 the 5-piece hard rockers will release new singles from the upcoming second album starting by the release of a single  ‘ Kill the Voice ’.
