Temples are one of the hottest new bands around at the minute. Endorsed by the likes of Brett Anderson who recently invited them on tour with Suede and cited by both Johnny Marr and Noel Gallagher as the best new band in Britain, it's been a memorable twelve months for a band that barely existed this time last year. »

Now entering its fifteenth year of existence, Drowned In Sound caught up with Acid House Kings' Johan Angergård, now essentially responsible for running the label.
