Harem Scarem is the 1991 self-titled debut album by the Canadian hard rock band of the same name. Music videos were shot for the songs; "Slowly Slipping Away", "Honestly", and "With a Little Love". The album charted at No. 68 on the Canadian charts. However two singles from the said album such as "Honesty" and "Something to Say" had become big hits in the Philippines.

Contents

The album includes guest appearances by fellow Canadian stars such as Ray Coburn of Honeymoon Suite, Carl Dixon of Coney Hatch and Paul MacAusland of Haywire. It also boasted a co-writing credit by award winning songwriter Christopher Ward of "Black Velvet" fame.

Connection to Degrassi

In 1992, Harem Scarem was able to gain some notoriety when 8 songs from their debut album were predominantly featured in the Canadian teen series Degrassi Junior High and Degrassi High's farewell TV movie, School's Out. This marks the first DHX Media to be record label by Warner Music Group that has no connection to My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic.
