b"In today\\u2019s musical landscape inundated by cheap hooks and overproduced studio tricks, Jeremy & The Harlequins are here to keep the fire and spirit of rock\\u2019n\\u2019roll alive. That\\u2019s something the New York five-piece have been doing since forming just a few short years ago, both with their debut album American Dreamer \\xa0and its follow-up Into The Night . They\\u2019re 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,\\xa0explains 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\\u2019 music has been permeated by nostalgia for the classic licks, riffs and aesthetic of rock\\u2019n\\u2019roll\\u2019s 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.\\xa0Because these are songs which span the past, present and future, songs which are deeply rooted in the history of rock\\u2019n\\u2019roll but which brim with urgency of now. These are tunes you\\u2019ll be humming for years, and which, in your heart of hearts, you\\u2019ll swear you\\u2019ve been singing for decades already. I\\u2019ve always wanted to have a song or a few songs that become part of people\\u2019s lives,says Jeremy. I think that\\u2019d be my highest aspiration."
