The Temperance Movement's first release was their "Pride EP", which came out on 10 September 2012, and featured five tracks: "Ain't No Telling", "Only Friend", "Pride", "Be Lucky" and "Lovers & Fighters".[4] The following week, the band appeared at the 2012 edition of the Sunflower Jam SuperJam at the Royal Albert Hall,[5] where, as the opening act, they played the first two tracks from their EP.[6] The band also played at Futurerock at the 100 Club (Oxford Street, London) on 9 November 2012,[7] and they embarked on a UK tour from late April to early May 2013.[8] The band's debut studio album, The Temperance Movement, was released on 16 September 2013 on Earache Records. The album features the five tracks from the "Pride EP" alongside seven other songs or nine tracks if you count the two bonus tracks when purchased from the iTunes store(Mother's Eyes and Already Know).[3] On 10 June 2014, the Temperance Movement was invited as the guest band before the Rolling Stones' concert given in Berlin (Waldbühne).
