Birmingham, UK – SBÄM Records is proud to announce the return of UK punk rock powerhouses Templeton Pek with their highly-anticipated new album, Savages, set for release on October 3, 2025. Known for their high-energy live shows and anthemic, hook-driven songwriting, the Birmingham trio are gearing up to deliver their most raw, urgent, and unapologetic record yet.
Formed in Birmingham, the band—Neal Mitchell (vocals/bass), Kev Green (guitar), and Jon Keen (drums)—have spent more than a decade cementing their place as one of the UK’s hardest-working punk outfits, sharing stages with legends like Rise Against, Bad Religion, Sum 41, and Millencolin. With Savages, Templeton Pek sharpen their edge, crafting a heavier, darker, and more politically charged sound that never loses the melodic hooks that have become their trademark.
Recorded earlier this year, Savages captures both the chaos and catharsis of a world in flux. Across twelve uncompromising tracks, the record channels frustration, defiance, and hope into soaring choruses and blistering punk rock anthems. Lyrically, Savages confronts societal division, resilience in the face of adversity, and the fight to preserve humanity in an increasingly fractured world.
The album rollout kicked off with the fiery single “Artifact” in August, followed by the new single, the anthemic “No Kings”, giving fans another taste of the band’s sharpened sound and unrelenting energy.
“Savages is the record we’ve been wanting to make for years,” says frontman Neal Mitchell. “It’s loud, it’s pissed off, but it’s also about unity. These songs are for anyone who’s ever felt like they’ve had to stand up and shout to be heard.”
To celebrate the release, Templeton Pek will hit the road this autumn for an extensive European and UK tour, including appearances at major punk festivals and select headline dates. See dates here: https://www.bandsintown.com/a/17068-templeton-pek.
No strangers to the stage, Templeton Pek have previously toured with The Offspring, Rise Against, Bad Religion, Sum 41, NOFX, Alkaline Trio, Lagwagon, Millencolin, Zebrahead, Ignite, and Pennywise.
They’ve also made their mark on international festival stages, performing at Punk Rock Holiday (SI), Slam Dunk (UK), Jera On Air (NL), Brakrock (BE), Mighty Sounds (CZ), Rebellion (UK), Open Flair (DE), Monster Bash (DE), Taubertal (DE), and SBÄM Fest (AT).
With Savages, Templeton Pek are ready to reaffirm their place as one of the UK’s most vital punk exports—fierce, unrelenting, and impossible to ignore.
