Jens Herman Ruge

About Me

Jens Herman Ruge entered the Norwegian underground scene as co-founder of the slightly successful rock-band Reverend Lovejoy, together with Pål Angelskår (now Minor Majority).Three albums and two EP's later the band split up, and Jens Herman started from scratch by writing new songs and taking them to the studio to see what he would end up with. A few years later, he is now releasing his solo-debut, There May Have Been Violins.
