Hailing from Santa Ana, California Surely Tempo is a 4 Piece indie rock band that consists of the following members. Alex Johnathan Martinez (Lead Vocal / Rhythm Guitar), David Ismodes (Lead Guitar), Raymond Pardo (Bass Guitar), and Riquelme Pastrana (Drums). Surely Tempo was formed in the early summer of 2020, during which time their debut single “I Don’t Talk” was recorded, as well as writing the foundation for their debut record “Days So Bitter, Yet So Sweet” which would later be released in the fall that same year.

“Surely Tempo” released in spring of 2023. Spring 2023 would be formative time for Surely Tempo, by going on their first national tour as direct support for Archer Oh’s “Channel Surfing tour”. “Dissonance” off of “Days So Bitter, Yet So Sweet” received its first 1 million plays and became the bands first “hit”. Surely Tempo would later that same year go on to perform their first headlining tour “Time I$ Money” named after a lyric within their song “PAZ” which was released in summer that same year.

In early 2024, a new record was recorded. Surely Tempo concluded their second national tour, this time as direct support for the band Enjambre after playing a series of sold out shows and making new friends along the way. “At The End Of The Day Tho…” (to quote Surely Tempo’s Drummer Paul) what is Surely Tempo? “At The End Of The Day Tho…” is a new 4 track EP stating just that. At The End Of The Day Tho… the rest is history.
