Seattle’s The Tempers are a perfect example of how music has evolved in the Emerald City. Gone are the days of grunge or even grunge influenced sounds as today’s bands, while paying homage to those before them, have their own unique sound and style. In the case of this family trio, The Tempers rely heavily on drum machines and corpse paint… though the whole face paint thing in it’s own way could be taken as a tribute to Seattle’s Malfunkshun.

This sibling act have this spooky little number for you called “Alone Again” off their debut album Vol. 1. It’s creepy as hell but is also pretty darn catchy, especially with the whole make-up and eerie sound of singer Corina. Definitely a band to keep your eye on this year.
