Canada's finest hard rock band, Harem Scarem were formed in 1987 by
guitarist Pete Lesperance and singer Harry Hess, formerly of the heavy
metal band Blind Vengeance. The lineup was rounded out by Darren Smith
(drums) and Mike Gionet (bass). They recorded a demo in 1999 and on the
strength of it, they were signed to Warner Music. Their self-titled
album was a significant success in Canada and paved the way to the
release of the heavier "Mood Swings" album in 1993, often considered the
crown jewel of their early releases. Harem Scarem kept on releasing
albums regularly during the 90's, until they decided to ultimately
change their name and music style to Rubber between 1999 and 2001.
In 2002, the band came back to melodic hard rock with the milestone
album "Weight of the World," which was their first proper release in the
European marketplace thanks to their newly signed deal with Frontiers.
With the Italian label, Harem Scarem released another five original
albums (not counting 2006's "Human Nature" and the remake of "Mood
Swings" in 2013, which marked the band's return after a 5 years hiatus
after the release of 2008's "Overload").
