history

Before they had even recorded any album, the Radiohead group came across one of their demo tapes. The British band then invited them to support their US tour for their second album The Bends . Remy Zero then moved from Birmingham, Alabama to Los Angeles to record her first album.

Their first album, Remy Zero , was shaped by these experiences and received little recognition and buyers. The ensuing album, Villa Elaine , was recorded while they were living in a Hollywood apartment of the same name . This album was Remy Zero's big break in the US. The Golden Hum , Remy Zero's third album, was just as successful as the previous one.

A 50-second excerpt from Save Me from the album The Golden Hum is used as the theme music for the TV series Smallville . Remy Zero's song Shattered was used in the movies Crazy / Beautiful and Suicide Kings . Fair by Villa Elaine was used in the film Garden State and the most successful song Prophecy , also by Villa Elaine , was heard in the film The Last Kiss .

The band broke up after the album The Golden Hum and some members switched to other bands. Cinjun and Shelby Tate formed a new band called Spartan Fidelity , Jeffrey Cain went to Isidore , Cedric Lemoyne toured with Alanis Morissette's band, and Gregory Slay went to Sleepwell .

In the summer of 2006 the group got back together and published on their website that they were back together and were working together again on a new Remy Zero album.
