Lemonheads

The Lemonheads have evolved from a Boston-based alternative rock outfit into a band recognized for combining catchy melodies with punk roots and a touch of folk and country influences. After achieving mainstream success with their acclaimed album ‘It’s a Shame About Ray’ in 1992, The Lemonheads solidified their reputation as an influential alternative rock outfit. This Atlantic Records release gained significant popularity, further amplified by their cover of Simon and Garfunkel’s ‘Mrs. Robinson.’ Recorded for ‘The Graduate’s’ 25th anniversary, the track boosted their mainstream exposure and was featured in films including ‘Wayne’s World 2’ (1992) and ‘The Wolf of Wall Street.’ This period also saw frontman Evan Dando featured in People’s ’50 Most Beautiful People’ list in 1993.

The band further contributed to the cultural landscape by participating in the ‘Schoolhouse Rock! Rocks’ tribute album in 1996, the same year they released ‘Car Button Cloth.’ Following a period of hiatus from 1997 to 2004, The Lemonheads reformed in 2005, demonstrating their enduring artistic vision. In 2006, The Lemonheads released their self-titled album, showcasing collaborations with respected musicians such as J Mascis, and reinforcing their distinctive blend of catchy melodies, punk roots, and folk/country influences. The band expanded their discography with two albums of covers, ‘Varshons’ (2009) and ‘Varshons 2’ (2019), which further highlighted their versatility and musical acumen.

The upcoming release builds on a career spanning decades, characterized by consistent touring and a discography that has earned critical acclaim and a dedicated global fanbase.
