Artist Pre-Sale: Thursday, October 29 at 10am CST Temper City, the group behind one of the year’s most irresistible hits, is an alt-rock trio formed by singer-songwriter Eytan Peled and global production duo Sync (Aviv Barenholtz and Chen Kordova). “Self Aware,” their global chart-topping debut single, has made the leap from TikTok to the Hot 100. The three Los Angeles-based session vets got their start behind the scenes after meeting at a chance open-mic night in Israel. They spent five years traveling the world and crafting songs that generated hundreds of millions of streams for acts making waves in electronic, blues, and rock music. But they noticed their strongest work always emerged when they were simply in a room together, writing without expectations. When an artist canceled a session at the last minute, they seized the moment. It was a decision thatchanged their lives. They finally had a moment to put their own spin on “the indie-rock, nostalgic sound we’ve always been obsessed with and grew up on,” the group said of the day that sparked “Self Aware.” “We wanted to make something that sounded timeless and had a massive live energy.”
