SBÄM Records is proud to announce the return of UK punk rock powerhouses Templeton Pek with their highly-anticipated new album, ‘Savages’, out on October 3rd, 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.
“‘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.”
