What others have said about the Remains
Had these Boston bad boys stuck it out beyond their 1966 debut, we might today be calling them–and not the Stones–the World’s Greatest Rock ‘n’ Roll band. As it is, The Remains most certainly are America’s greatest lost band.
Mark Kemp, Paste Magazine, June 2007
Garage heroes.

Le legende americaine.
Sud Ouest (Bordeaux)
They were magic. They were how you told a stranger about rock ‘n’ roll.
Jon Landau, Crawdaddy, January 1967
A strong contender for the finest overlooked American band of the mid-’60s. American rock & roll at its best.
All Music Guide
They were the most exciting American band of their time.
Jon Landau, Spoonfed Records 1978
The Remains were the band that led the way for Rock n’ Rollers in Boston
Peter Wolf, The J. Geils Band
New England legends who toured with the Beatles and played The Ed Sullivan Show but never scored a hit record, the Remains have long been touted by those who were there as the great American hard-rock band of the mid-Sixties. And guess what? This previously unavailable live-in-the-studio set justifies the hype. In fact, on the evidence here, these guys were an absolutely lethal combination of R&B moxie and Brit Rock panache.
Stereo Review, 1997
For more than 30 years, the May 1966 Capitol Records audition tape by the REMAINS has been one of the great unreleased wonders of rock & roll—a legendary studio performance—of such explosive exuberance and muscular force that it has been, for those lucky enough to hear it, a religious totem of all that was manic and marvelous about mid-’60s pop.
Rolling Stone, March 20, 1997
Nobody’s replacing them. Bands like the Remains are living history, and one of our most valued American treasures.
Springsteen guitarist Little Steven Van Zandt, quoted in the Boston Herald, September 29, 2002
Fresh, unpretentious, energetic, and mature, Movin’ On will only enhance the band’s fabled reputation.
Discoveries, January 2003
The Remains songs—an all-but-lost catalog that is part Fab Four, part Stones, two parts Zombies and all rock & roll.
