From the heart of Ioannina’s underground rock scene, Tempted? step into the spotlight with their debut single ‘For You Only‘ – a striking introduction that firmly places the Greek four-piece within the contemporary grunge and alternative rock landscape.
Built on raw emotion and refined execution, the track channels the band’s distinctive sound:
gritty yet melodic, introspective yet forceful.
With dynamic arrangements, immersive production, and a compelling vocal performance, ‘For You Only‘ offers a powerful glimpse into what’s to come from the group’s upcoming releases.
“For You Only was written after a deep romantic disappointment,”
the band explains.
“It speaks about heartbreak – about giving everything to someone who chose the safety of the familiar instead of embracing what was being offered.”
Formed in April 2023, Tempted? bring together four musicians already well-known in the Ioannina rock circuit:
Christos Kiskinis (also of Spellbound) on vocals and rhythm guitar, Eleni Koilakou (Schizodolls, Ask Tomorrow, Modern Therapy) on bass and backing vocals, Georgos Raptis (Sliver, ex-Lioneye) on drums, and Foivos Megas (Mojave Sky, Ask Tomorrow) on lead guitar and backing vocals.
What began as a shared passion for grunge and alternative rock quickly evolved into something more personal.
From their earliest rehearsals, the band started writing original material while reimagining tracks by their heroes – from Mad Season to Alice in Chains – through their own distinctive lens.
In just two years, Tempted? have carved out a name for themselves on the Greek live circuit, sharing stages with acclaimed acts like Khirki and Puta Volcano, and drawing strong local support with their energetic full-set performances.
Now, after two and a half years of honing their sound, the band has captured that live intensity in the studio.
Produced by Dimitris Krikonis and featuring artwork by Christina Kiskini, ‘For You Only‘ marks the beginning of a new chapter – the first of many releases to come.
A heartfelt debut that blends vulnerability with defiance, ‘For You Only‘ signals that Tempted? are ready to move from local favorites to one of the most promising new names in the Greek rock scene.
