Temps is a project by David Lavoie and Aidan O’Reilly in Calgary. David’s background in jazz and Aidan’s involvement in Calgary and Montreal’s respective post-punk scenes highly influence their sound. The band aims to build versatile textures and grooves while the interplay between stereo guitars creates angular riffs and colourful chords.

EP or LP?
I like the immediacy of releasing music yourself online without having to wait for record labels, art, packaging, and manufacturing. It is also really satisfying to put something more complete out but I lean EP I guess.
Early bird or night owl?
Both
Road or studio?
Have never been on the road for real so I can’t accurately answer this one.
Any shows or albums coming up?
Working on an EP at the moment!
