“I suppose its easy to embrace an exploratory energy when you’re from a small town” says Toma. Travelling across the US and ending up in London, Tempesst formed alongside guitarist Eric Weber, and fellow Australian exiles Blake Misipeka (bass), and Kane Reynolds (keys). The band’s debut EP ‘Adult Wonderland’ was certainly inspired.

The project drew on a time when the five-piece were searching for each other, and for a certain sound. An inspired, sunshine mesh, the material owed a debt to that classic West Coast lineage – Crosby, Stills & Nash for example.
