Tempered is a rock band from Pittsburgh, PA, founded in 2016 by Zach Geraci (guitar/vocals) and Patrick Emerick (drums). Soon after, the 4-piece lineup was completed with Zackh Cain (lead guitar) and Kyle Pendergast (bass). In early 2018, Kyle left the band and was replaced by Ben McConahy (bass), who left in 2021 and was replaced by current bassist William Bigham.

Tempered embraces many influences, but notably rocks a cool and mellow Silversun Pickups feel in the verses and heats things up with intense Nirvana style vocals in the choruses. Add in face melting solos, and Tempered produces a sound as powerful as steel. But to truly create a unique and enjoyable listening experience, they also throw in odd-meter and other unexpected twists.

Tempered released their debut album Morning Dew at 8pm in February 2018, which showcased a broad range of styles, from the straight ahead rock of "After Me," to the extended chords of "Mandela Effect," the extended jam in "Rules of the House," and the intense punk of "Chocolate." After honing their skills with a string of singles, even delving into prog with "Waist Deep (Elephants)" and "Song Bird," Tempered went back into the studio to rerecord their debut album, now aptly titled Morning Redo at 8 p.m.

Their next album will prove to be their most eclectic yet, featuring a broad range of new instruments. Stay tuned for more music to feed your soul.
