The Trouble With Templeton are a 5 piece alternative rock band from Brisbane in Australia. They are: Thomas Calder (vocals, guitar), Hugh Middleton (lead guitar, BVs), Betty Yeowart (keys, BVs), Sam Pankhurst (bass, BVs) and Ritchie Daniell (drums).

In April 2011 Thomas Calder at age 20, gathered all the gear he could find and recorded a mini-album called “Bleeders” in his Brisbane home. It took all of 2 weeks. Even the most cursory airing of Thomas Calder’s striking debut will leave the listener with no doubt: this boy is special.

Tom released his album independently in November 2011, with more and more loving & positive reactions from all over Australia every day over the year to follow, from fans, press & blogs alike. “I Wrote A Novel” was played on Triple J & community radio nationally early in 2012, with the song reaching #8 on the Australian Independent Radio Chart, Thomas was a finalist in the International Songwiting Competition, his beautiful videos (made by he and his brother Josh Calder) had a huge response from blogs worldwide & National TV play here, and he toured extensively.

In June 2012 the act underwent a spectacular transformation – they became an EPIC, clever, stunningly beautiful 5 piece band. The new, exceptionally talented band members know how to compliment and build on Thomas’ voice and songwriting skills perfectly.
