Harem Scarem is a Canadian hard rock band that carved a niche for itself in the annals of rock music with its melodic and harmonious sound, characterized by strong vocals and precise instrumentation. Formed in 1987 by vocalist Harry Hess and guitarist Pete Lesperance, the band rose to fame in the early '90s. Their self-titled debut album released in 1991 was a hit in their homeland and garnered them international attention, especially in Japan and parts of Europe. With a dedicated fan base, they followed up with several successful studio albums that further established their presence in the rock scene.

Over the years, Harem Scarem has seen a few lineup changes but has retained its core of Hess and Lesperance. The duo's songwriting prowess continued to drive the band, culminating in mature and refined releases. Their resilience in the industry is exemplified by a string of albums in the 2010s, including 'United' (2017) which served as a monumental reunion album putting them back in the spotlight with its powerful hooks and memorable melodies. The band's commitment to their artistry and their consistent evolution ensured their return with 'Change the World' in 2020, an album that delivers a strong message with the band's signature sound. Despite the changing landscape of the music industry, Harem Scarem's legacy endures, attested by their comprehensive anthology 'The Ultimate Collection' and their energetic live performances, like that captured on 'Live at the Phoenix'.
