EP 558 HAREM SCAREM singer Harry Hess on producing, the bands history and new album Chasing Euphoria


Listen Later

Harem Scarem, the Canadian melodic hard rock band formed in 1987, has built a legacy on polished songwriting, tight arrangements, and emotive vocals. While the band’s early sound was rooted in the melodic glam-infused rock popular in the late ’80s and early ’90s, their progression over the years has shown a clear evolution in maturity and depth. Their self-titled debut in 1991 introduced audiences to their signature blend of melody and power, and albums like Mood Swings and Voice of Reason solidified their place in melodic rock history.Throughout their career, the band has shifted lineups but remained consistent in its core songwriting duo of vocalist Harry Hess and guitarist Pete Lesperance. Known for crafting thoughtful lyrics and hook-laden choruses, Harem Scarem became particularly popular in Europe and Japan. Despite briefly disbanding in 2008 after the release of Hope, the band reunited in 2013, re-recorded Mood Swings as Mood Swings II, and has since continued creating new music while keeping a foot rooted in their classic sound. The band’s latest album, Chasing Euphoria, is a continuation of that legacy—a blend of melodic intensity and lyrical introspection. While Hess continues to balance producing and engineering for other artists out of his own studio, the band remains a creative priority. Chasing Euphoria is available now through Frontiers Music.
