London-based electronic rock band Temposhark was formed in December 2004 by singer/songwriter Rob Diament and producer Luke Busby. The band immediately set up its own record label Paper and Glue as a means of releasing a series of limited edition singles; the first of which was the critically acclaimed EP Neon Question Mark. An instant hit with the UK underground, Temposhark, quickly collaborated on a duet with singer Imogen Heap (Frou Frou) and received club remixes from electro pioneers including Cursor Miner, Mark Moore (S'Express), Avril (F Communications), Metronomy, Melnyk, Crispin J Glover, Noblesse Oblige (Horse Glue) and hip-hop artists Border Crossing and Akira The Don.

After hearing Temposhark’s second EP Invisible Ink/Little White Lie (May 2005), acclaimed producer Guy Sigsworth (Madonna, Björk and Britney Spears) became an instant fan and went on to produce the band’s first nationwide released UK single, “It's Better To Have Loved” (December 2005). In May 2006, Temposhark released its second nationwide single “Joy” on limited edition CD and 7” vinyl. The track became a favorite with the UK press and lead to a subsequent nationwide tour. Temposhark gained many new fans when the track was featured on the homepage of iTunes UK and in iTunes’ weekly newsletter and was featured as the iTunes US staff favorite of the week.

As exemplified by numerous sold-out performances, North America has been a land of incredible support for Temposhark. A March 2006 MySpace.com homepage feature on Temposhark gave the band a new worldwide platform with more than 550,000 plays to date nearly 80% of the band’s music sales have come from North America. Influential LA radio station, KCRW, have also shown their full support for Temposhark by regularly spinning several tracks from the band’s forthcoming debut LP The Invisible Line (March 2008).
