## Biography

JEREMIAH KANE started in 2017, first as a solo project of Jeremiah Kane, who played previously in various metal bands and who took interest in retro electronic music and synthesizers. On May 25, 2017, he released his debut EP, *NEOANGELES*, and the debut album, *THE NEW DAWN,* on November 15, 2017.

Vincy Kane, a childhood friend and previous bandmate of Jeremiah, joined the band in 2018, first as a live guitarist and later, as a full member and a co-writer in all the band's later releases. JEREMIAH KANE released their 2nd album, *ALL OR NOTHING*, on October 25, 2018. The album quickly gained attention in the Synthwave music community and was considered a major breakthrough for their career, cited as one of the best Synthwave albums in 2018.

In 2019, they focused on promoting their latest album release and went on their first European tour, touring such countries as the Czech Republic, Ukraine, Hungary, Germany, and Belgium.

In 2020, JEREMIAH KANE announced that they will work with a German music producer, Kristian “Kohle” Kohlmannslehner (known for his work with bands such as Eskimo Callboy, Powerwolf, and Hamatom), to work on their future material. This cooperation led to the release of the single *Never Back Down* on the 6th of March, 2020.

Later that year, they released their next single, *Specter*, on August 7, 2020, and a remix of *Never Back Down* by a band BlazerJacket, on October 30, 2020.

In 2021, JEREMIAH KANE signed to a german music record label, NoCut Entertainment and played their second biggest show at Castle Party Festival in Poland.

In 2022, they focused on a small tour around polish festivals and conventions. First, they played at the largest Fan Convention in Europe called Pyrkon. Then, after a warm welcome, they play at a few anime & manga conventions in Warsaw, Poznań, etc.

JK was invited once more, after their debut in 2021, to play at Castle Party Festival, this time on the main stage. They're one of the not-so-many bands to play two years in a row at this festival.

This year is also crucial to their career. They are releasing a new album called *RONIN*, which is their 3rd album at all and 1st one released with the music record label NoCut Entertainment. This time, JK put more vocal tracks inside the album than ever before. They worked with such voices as Julian Larre (Lacrimas Profundere) or Alen Ljubic (Dymytry). *RONIN* is strongly influenced by Japanese culture, anime & manga (especially *Initial D*), and *Cyberpunk*.

## 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.
