The group's powerful live shows garnered them a solid fan base, and they signed with metal label Earache Records, releasing an EP, Pride, in 2012 and following it with a self-titled full-length, The Temperance Movement (which included the five tracks from the EP plus seven new tracks), in the fall of 2013. After touring extensively for two years -- including a support slot for the Rolling Stones -- they headed back into the studio for their second album, White Bear, which saw release in late 2015. ~ Steve Leggett
