Harem Festival

. . . the truth hurts sometimes . . .

About Me

Harem Festival is a band whose goal is to inspire and provoke thought. Whether it’s through the dynamics of their multi-layered music, or their outside the box, riddle-like lyrics they have a tendency to infiltrate the hidden parts of your mind and push outward. With an often educated optimism Harem Festival pose many existential questions that require the listener to look inward while considering what brought them to their current place in life. Through an artful blend of musical styles rooted in a progressive rock feel they create a landscape of sound to digest while making these considerations.
