Remo Drive are a Minnesota band who first became known for merging indie rock with D.I.Y. emo-punk. Inspired by a range of groups like Weezer, Vampire Weekend, the Police, and Title Fight they were initially associated with the 2010s "emo revival," issuing their debut, Greatest Hits, in 2017. Over their next two albums, 2019's Natural, Everyday Degradation and 2020's A Portrait of an Ugly Man, they polished some of their edges and diversified their sound. They took their evolution a step further on 2024's eclectic Mercy, which was produced by Phil Ek.
