"Timeless pop (...) 'Beauty in Broken' feels like an unexpected reunion with long-lost friends." - Rolling Stone
At the end of the 1980s, The Jeremy Days were one of the few German bands to make it onto MTV at a time when this was still reserved for the big international acts. Their melodious mix of British pop and American art rock put them on the posters of Pop-Rocky as well as in the feature pages of the FAZ in the ten years of their existence.
They landed several hits and even created a kind of evergreen with "Brand New Toy". They worked with producer legends such as Clive Langer and Alan Winstanley (e.g. Madness, Elvis Costello) as well as Fred Maher (e.g. Lou Reed, Lloyd Cole). By the end of 1995, they had seen all the big clubs in Germany, completed a tour of France and the UK and produced five albums, of which they sold over half a million records. But after this intense period, the band could no longer see, smell or be around each other - and split up. It seemed as if there was no going back.
No one believed in a reunion when The Jeremy Days suddenly took to the stage of the sold-out Hamburg Dock in 2019 after 24 years of radio silence and played their way through an exhilarating concert evening "for the history books of pop music", as NDR television commented. The band around singer Dirk Darmstaedter was back. Would they stay? After a successful tour of Germany, the energetic new album "Beauty in Broken" was actually released in 2022. It was the group's first new release since 1995, appeared on the band's own label Circushead Records and reached number 21 in the German album charts.
After acclaimed concerts for WDR Rockpalast and the radio station Bremen Zwei in 2022, as well as further acclaimed live performances in 2023, the band is looking forward to finally touring German clubs again this October. The band will be performing songs from their latest album and, of course, classics from 37 years of band history.
