I am on a Harem Scarem kick today...they were such a GREAT band!!
Sadly, I had to sell off all the HS discs I had back in the early 00's...but lucky for me, Wonded Bird has reissued TONS of thier catalog (except for Mood Swings, which is still in print and easily attainable).
Of course before I sold off my HS discs, I ripped them to DVDs and still have the music so I was cranking Higher and Believe this morning...
I've already got a handful "watched" on Ebay for when my credit card rolls back to $0 on Apr6.
Any fans??

The name sounds vaguely familiar, but can't say I know them. Checking them out on Amazon, they sound pleasant enough I guess. Did they have a big hit?

Not in America...they came out in 1991 at the tail end of the Hair Band thing, and into the short-lived AOR resurgence (Giant, Bad English, Alias, etc)...
They managed to gain a following in Japan and are still huge in the Melodic Rock scene (though they are disbanded now)...enough to put out a dozen or so albums.

They have very catchy tunes and excellent three part harmonies. I like: Warming A Frozen Rose Justice in the World
There's a lot of others. I discovered them a few years ago.

Yeah, they love those stacked harmonies...no surprise since Lesperance (guitar) and Hess (vocals) are the cheif songwriters and their 2 favorite bands are The Beatles and Queen...

This is the version I heard first:
Excellent tune!!!!
This one has a great song structure. It has a Kings X/Beatles vibe.
