Electric Temple was formed in 2024 by guitarist Tony Childs and features Andrew Freeman (Last in Line, Lynch Mob, Offspring) on vocals, Mike Duda (W.A.S.P.) on bass, Matt Starr (Ace Frehley, KIX, Mr. Big) on drums. Guitarist/songwriter/producer Tony Childs was formerly in the band Shanghai. Their combined forces deliver a sonic experience beckoning flavors from modern rock, post grunge and that magic era when bands like Sabbath, Dio, Iron Maiden, and Judas Priest established themselves as the Godfathers of the “Hard Rock & Metal” genre.

In their quest to keep the flames of rock burning bright, Electric Temple champions the belief that “Rock is Religion”. Tony Childs, guitarist explains, “I was going through a rough patch in my life the last few years where a lot of dark things were happening around me, to loved ones, as well as myself. I needed a cathartic way to deal with it. So almost by osmosis I started creating music in a proper old school metal style that I loved but rarely heard anymore. It was quickly evident that it brought me back to my youth when Hard Rock & Metal became my religion and helped me cope with teenage problems. This genre of rock still has the same impact on me today and still has the healing power that "saves my soul. Electric Temple was born out of the need to express myself artistically, go to a place where I could “worship” freely and be able to share my mantra “Rock is Religion.” This mantra fuels their relentless pursuit of sonic excellence and their mission to ignite passion in the hearts of all who embrace that old school rock and roll spirit. WHO SAID ROCK WAS DEAD?
