CD Review: The Temple Agents Go "Live" & Save The Lost Boys Feature Their New "Temptress"

From Santiago, Chile comes the hard rock band Temple Agents with their first live album titled "Live Santiago De Chile." It was released on July 1st to co-inside with the band's opening slot on their latest tour with Candlebox which runs until the end of the month. The new ten-song release begins with the intense delivery of "Red Demons," which feels as if the whole arena is rocking to the hard-hitting rhythm of the song. The new live album also features songs that did not appear on the band's debut studio album, like the quick-pace of "Lacking Of Life" and the metal screams of "For You." The lead single from this release is the acoustic rocker "Divine Lightning," which also features Candlebox's Kevin Martin on vocals. The energy of their live shows is definitely felt through the recording of songs like "Free" and "Last Train" as Temple Agents will be headlining their own tours very soon.

From Ohio, comes the latest release titled "Temptress" from pop-punk band Save The Lost Boys." It features ten tracks of high-energy, beginning with the quick rhythm of "Wasting My Time" as the addictive chorus gets locked into your brain. Their youthfulness is felt in the lyrics of "Bad Names" as dating and self-image are the core subjects to their songs. Tyler Smyth (Dangerkids) lends a hand to the power of the quick-paced "Dancing," before the band slows down the pace with the punk ballad "Things I Could Never Forget." The album finishes with the combined power of "Overreaction" and "Whatever You Like" as the band puts their life experiences to music for all to hear. The new album "Temptress" will be released on July 15th through Victory Records. To find out more about Save The Lost Boys, please visit their Facebook page at facebook.com/TheLostBoys.
