Kemptation started as a little blog in 2011. Back then, I couldn’t imagine us growing at all, but we eventually became a team of 40+ contributing writers, editors, photographers and videographers, each member bringing their own immense talent to the fold.

And now, sadly, Kemptation is dead, but the great work we created lives on in this archive.

Take a look through our music reviews, mixtapes, feature interviews and fiction writing. We did so much in the time we had.

We may return in some form or other – we haven’t decided yet – but for now this is it. I am so proud of everything we achieved.

Thanks for reading.
