'''''Mood Swings''''' is a 1993 album by the [[Canadians|Canadian]] [[hard rock]] band [[Harem Scarem]]. A music video was shot for the song "No Justice". The album charted at No. 85 on the Canadian charts.
In December 2012, it was announced that a reunited Harem Scarem would headline the 10th Firefest festival in Nottingham, UK in October 2013. Harry Hess had been approached by Firefest's promotor to perform the Mood Swings album in its entirety for its twentieth year anniversary. Following that appearance, Harem Scarem re-recorded the Mood Swings album, adding three newly written 'in-keeping' tracks to Mood Swings II, 'World Gone To Piece's, 'Anarchy' and 'A Brighter Day'.
In 2023, and to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Mood Swings the band announced they would be releasing an anniversary edition of the album as Mood Swings Bundle - Limited Edition. The package included a 180-gram purple LP, a CD with five bonus acoustic tracks, and numerous other items of physical and digital memorabilia and similar. Retail price was $89.95.
