In today’s musical landscape inundated by cheap hooks and overproduced studio tricks, Jeremy & The Harlequins are here to keep the fire and spirit of rock’n’roll alive. That’s something the New York five-piece have been doing since forming just a few short years ago, both with their debut album American Dreamer  and its follow-up Into The Night . They’re continuing this approach with their third album in three years, entitled Remember This, which they started writing at home in New York immediately after the recording of Into The Night. By the time that record was released, explains front man Jeremy Fury, I had about two thirds of Remember This written. I wrote the songs in my apartment in Hell's Kitchen and then we worked on the majority of the arrangements as a band together at the infamous Music Building near Times Square. Remember This has all the hallmarks of a Jeremy & The Harlequins record, but at the same time it sees the five-piece expanding on their own musical boundaries. While Jeremy & The Harlequins’ music has been permeated by nostalgia for the classic licks, riffs and aesthetic of rock’n’roll’s golden age, this new record sees the band widening their sonic horizons with the help of producer Rick Parker. That momentum continues to push the band forward. Because these are songs which span the past, present and future, songs which are deeply rooted in the history of rock’n’roll but which brim with urgency of now. These are tunes you’ll be humming for years, and which, in your heart of hearts, you’ll swear you’ve been singing for decades already. I’ve always wanted to have a song or a few songs that become part of people’s lives,says Jeremy. I think that’d be my highest aspiration.
