Archive material and source history
The Remains were a Boston band that formed in 1964 with Barry Tashian on vocals, Barry Keenan on guitar, Vern Miller on bass, and Chip Damiani on drums. They built a local following playing clubs and released their first single 'Why Do I Cry' in 1965, which did well on Boston radio.
Epic Records signed them in 1966, and they put out a self-titled debut album that mixed rock with some folk and pop touches. The cover showed the band members in drag, which caused some stir at the time. They recorded another album for Elektra in 1967, but it didn't find the same audience.
They kept playing off and on after that, though lineup changes and other issues made things uneven. Songs like 'Don't Look Back' and 'Why Do I Cry' still turn up on garage-rock compilations from that mid-60s period.
