To reach TEMPESTT roots it is necessary to go back to the creative musical scenario of their hometown of São Paulo in the 90's. At that time, Brazil was not yet fully inserted in the shows' agenda of great international bands and the internet was just crawling. Thus, musical opportunities for heavy rock were few and confined to some akin clubs and a few titles launched by major recording houses. However, this was an extremely productive time and many talents came to light in the poorly illuminated stages of São Paulo. This is the case of TEMPESTT that started its trajectory playing covers of bands like Journey, Kansas, Europe, Queen, Bon Jovi and Dream Theater. What specially caught the audience attention was the form by which music was performed, and soon the cover band got a legion of admirers. After a short time, TEMPESTT played with Billy Sheehan and was chosen as the support band to the vocalist Jeff Scott Soto tour in Brazil. It did not take much time for the band components to notice that they could create their own compositions and this was precisely what they did.

On their debut album “Bring ‘Em On”, one can notice the individual musician's talent and how much these years together as a band were important to their technique. Fighting against a poor music market, these kids play an honest, pure and simple hard/heavy. These quotes fit into the simple, because it’s simple to understand the melody and let itself go by songs like “Enemy in You” that grow up in each verse. But these quotes disappear when we talk about techniques and feeling. Sculpted melodies, jealous techniques and innovator sound are some of the ingredients that TEMPESTT added at his success prescription. “Insanity Desire” is an amazing duet of TEMPESTT singer BJ and Jeff Scott Soto.

The CD was produced by TEMPESTT together with co-producer Adriano Daga (Latin Grammy Winner).



TEMPESTT toured Europe in March 2008 and they'll tour again in May & June 2009!
