The first time I saw Jeremy on stage I was struck by how refreshing it was
to - for once - see two young singer/songwriters with guitars who did not
exhaust you with their worries and whining, but rather expressed the
unfiltered joy of playing music.
It may sound strange and unexeptional, but
it's actually pretty rare these days.

"Check out “Make Love Not War†for an appetizer sized sampling of the full course meal that this duo brings into the music world(…)who wouldn’t fall in love with them?
Fans of Sondre Lerche will swoon over Jeremy, and will more than likely get the band name tattooed in unmentionable places.

Jeremy consists of Lars Christian Olsen (age 20) and Øivind Hatleskog (age 21). Both born and raised in the Norwegian oil-town Stavanger, the two veloursuited fellows have been deemed for making “excellent folk-popâ€.
Mp3 blogs are comparing them to 60s pop bands like the Monkees and Beach Boys, as well as twee-pop bands such as Belle & Sebastian and Kings Of Convenience, and of course Sondre Lerche, who they’ve shared producer with.
Biography
In their brief career of 3 years playing together, Jeremy has already shared stages with great artists such as Sondre Lerche and Thomas Dybdahl, and also many artists both totally awkward and spectacularly great of different shapes and sizes.
When Sondre and guitarist/producer Kato Ã…dland heard them in 2005, they liked it so much that Kato even invited them to Bergen to record a demo with a possibility to make an album.
The result was something they thought was the best they’d done so far. In 2006 Jeremy and the band played the Norwegian equivalent of In The City and SXSW, the By:Larm festival together with acts such as Serena Maneesh and many more, something that meant lots of gigs for the duo.
Last fall they released their EP in Norway, and in January it also reached the stores of Japan where it also received good reviews. Jeremy also signed with US label Hitswitch Records, who released the EP in May.
They are currently recording an album with reknown Norwegian producer HP Gundersen, also known for producing the likes of Sondre Lerche and Ane Brun. A new single "Make Love Not War" from those recording sessions is out now on iTunes.
Jeremy just played In The City in Manchester, UK and are soon done with their album. The craze has just begun, and soon â€everyone†will know that this Jeremy is not a person, but actually a spectacular norwegian pop duo(often seen with a great backing-band) NOT named after the pearl jam song.
