“Honestly, man, when you think of who Harvey Specter is, he’s like this cool lawyer who listens to good music and he’s got this rock side,” enthuses Justin Tessier, drummer and one half of The Blue Stones. “He’s not a pretentious asshole. Well maybe he is a little, but he’s just the right amount.”
If you’re wondering why he’s gushing over the central character in the popular Netflix legal drama Suits, it’s partly down to the fact that the show helped launch the Canadian duo’s career. Within three years of forming at university in 2010, the twosome - Tessier and frontman/guitarist Tarek Jafar - found themselves inundated with offers from TV shows to use their music, despite the pair not even having a record deal. It led to Rolling With The Punches (which later appeared on their 2015 debut Black Holes) soundtracking season three of Suits in 2013.
