A new band with old members, The Temps have quickly become one of the more talked about music acts in town.

Justin Hewitt (Vocals and Guitar) has been combining his love for music with his passion for technology since an early age. His solo career has earned him top spots in New Music West (2008), The International Songwriters Competition (2008), The Independent Music World Series (Semi-Finalist 2008), and most recently, (2011), he was a finalist in the Mount Doug Idol Competition where he performed with David Foster.

He has played with Fine Tooth Combine, Triple Sow Cow, Thin King, Fast Jacket, Vince Vaccaro and Honeyloaf to name a few. Murray performs drum clinics and master classes around Vancouver Island.

Josh Szczepanowski (Lead Guitar and Vocals) made the foolish decision to become a musician ten years ago and is still struggling along with it. He works regularly in the BC music scene in various projects as a multi-instrumentalist, producer, and songwriter. His main project Men Against the Sea just finished their first album, and when he's not playing guitar for the indie noise-rockers Black Valley Gospel you can see him as the lead singer, and lead guitarist, for the critically acclaimed group PIGS: Canada's Most Authentic Pink Floyd Tribute Act.

In his career he has shared his great talent with the likes of Andy Summers (Police), Barney Bentall, Daniel Lapp, David Gogo, Joby Baker, Luke Doucet, Mae Moore, Neil Osborne, Taj Mahal, Sass Jordan, Rickie Lee Jones and Michael Jackson.
