"A growing name in the worlds of journalism and music, Allingham is one to watch." -Vancity Buzz
"Watch for Vancouver's Jeremy Allingham's star to rise. Start to finish you'll love the diversity of his debut LP 'Memory Electric'." -Todd Hancock, TODDCast Podcast
"It’s not hard to imagine an audience waving its lit-up smart phones as it weaves to The Revisionist by Jeremy Allingham. It has that anthemic quality....he’s earnest and that sincerity is the album’s conscience, guiding it like radar. It’s an album that underlines the effectiveness of a few strummed chords on an electric guitar." -Tom Harrison, The Province newspaper
"The storytelling in his lyricism is a standout, as Allingham’s versatile vocals tackle the grittiness and vulnerability of human belonging, to climate change and inner revelations." -Permanent Rain Press
Whether it’s through music or journalism, Jeremy Allingham’s life’s work is spent in the pursuit of telling stories that are rich and resonant, that reflect beauty, meaning, sorrow and joy. Storytelling is in his bones. Jeremy's stories have reached millions of people in Canada and around the world.
With his bands Factories & Alleyways and Like A Martyr, the Vancouver troubadour has toured Western Canada and the United States, sold hundreds of records, charted on college radio coast-to-coast and received mainstream radio play on CBC Radio One, CBC Radio Three, CFOX and more. His music has received positive reviews in Exclaim!, Beatroute Magazine, the Georgia Straight, For Folk’s Sake and many others. His music has been licensed around the world for video and TV projects in Italy, Austria, Chile, Spain, Germany, and the United States. Factories & Alleyways' record 'Canadiana' received more than 25,000 downloads online.
Jeremy's musical identity has always been firmly linked to the collective musical experience. He's been playing in bands since the age of 14. But, by making the decision to forge an artistic path of his own, he has been able to achieve a clearer musical vision than ever before while capturing a sound that is uniquely his. In exploring his deep-seated influences, from Bruce Springsteen to Radiohead and from Neil Young to My Morning Jacket and back again, Jeremy has created a compilation of songs and stories that is diverse, revealing and emphatic.
Find Love reflects the universal human desire for belonging and the journey of ending up exactly where you’re supposed to be. Teenage Autumn Nights is a scorching contemplation of memory told from the eyes of a much younger version of himself. Money Gods sets the scene of the battle at Burnaby Mountain between concerned citizens and oil corporation Kinder Morgan as it pushes to triple the size of its crude oil pipeline. The Brinkmen is a lament of the losing battle that’s being halfheartedly fought against climate change. Didn’t Love You Anyway is a scathing rebuke of his own personal version of revisionist history and what it means to recover from true love lost.
Jeremy’s debut full-length album Memory Electric was released in March, 2016.
