Biography []
JEREMIAH KANE formed in 2017 from the initiative of Jeremiah Kane and initially was a solo synthwave project. The “Neoangeles” EP was released on 25.05.2017 with a full-length album “The New Dawn” shortly after in 2017 (15.11.2017).
The second album named “All or Nothing” was released on 25.10.2018 in cooperation with Vincy Kane, the former lead guitarist of the project, who joined the project initially to record guitar parts for the new album, but remained an active member along with live performances until his departure a few years later. In 2019 the duo focused on promoting the newest release in numerous venues in Europe, visiting countries such as Czechia, Ukraine, Hungary, Germany, Slovakia and Belgium.
In 2020 the band joined forces with bass player Chris Kane and announced a collaboration with music producer Kristian “Kohle” Kohlmannslehner (known from his work with bands such as Electric Callboy, Powerwolf or Hamatom) to work on their future material. This cooperation led to the release of singles “Never Back Down” and “Specter” on 06.03.2020 and 07.08.2020 respectively. Later the same year, on 30.10.2020 the band released “Never Back Down”’s remix created by BlazerJacket. In 2021 the band announced signing a contract with a German music label NoCut Entertainment and performed on the small stage of Castle Party Festival in Bolków, Poland.
In 2022 the band released their next album titled “Ronin” on the NoCut Entertainment label, which was received positively by music critics. After being joined by the drummer Jacob Kane, the band set out on a small tour promoting the newest full-length release. Jeremiah Kane performed on Pyrkon festival, on Copernicon and on the main stage of Castle Party, being invited again after their successful debut.
In early 2023 the lead guitarist Vincy Kane departed from the band for personal reasons, and was replaced by Theo Kane, staying in good contact with the rest of the band. With this new lineup, the band set out on an extensive tour around Poland, Germany, Czechia and Hungary. The band had the opportunity to play support shows for bands like Alestorm, Escape The Fate and Hanabie. Thanks to the votes of the audience, the band was able to perform again at the Pyrkon festival.
Musical style and influences[]
The band was described as a mixture of electronic music and guitar-driven rock, including many references to the 1980's pop culture and retro video games in their tracks. Their new releases (starting from Never Back Down) feature heavier approach to music, featuring more distorted guitars and influences from electronic music genres such as Drum 'n' Bass, Dubstep and Trance.
The band members themselves have stated that they are influenced by a wide variety of artists such as The Gazette, Girugamesh, and Parkway Drive.[1]
