Outside of the very top strata of melodic hard rock acts there are few more popular and enduring names than Harem Scarem.
Formed in Toronto, Canada by singer and guitarist Harry Hess and lead guitarist Pete Lesperance way back in 1987, they have since sold more than a million records worldwide. For reasons for that we’ll get into, the band didn’t become as big or famous as the elite stadium-conquering American bands that preceded them – Foreigner, Journey, Toto, Boston, Survivor, Styx – but over the course of almost 40 years and 16 studio albums they have carved a career founded upon a different type of success.
