The Temperance Movement was founded in 2011 by Glaswegian singer Phil Campbell and guitarists Luke Potashnik (Rooster and Ben's Brother ) and Paul Sayer.

The first studio album The Temperance Movement was released on September 16, 2013 on Earache Records . The album contains the five songs from the EP and seven others. In 2013 the band played a few concerts in the opening act of the Californian blues rocker Rival Sons .
