The music of Jeremy P Martin

Born in the deepest south, Invercargill NZ and raised on the kiwi greats, you would be on the right track if you imagined JPM and the Locals walking a knife edge between the outright unforgettable and the musically adventurous. Based in Melbourne now since 2000 JPM has a glowing list of credits not the least of which include an International Conference Songwriting Commission, Brunswick, High Vibes and Kew Festival appearances plus all the countless pubs. Emerging like Godzilla from the studio after 4 years working as a producer Jeremy returns with a new band, a new album and a burning desire to at least destroy Tokyo.

Level Up(2008) is totally disarming yet its one of the weirdest mixtures of tracks youll hear all year, kind of like having a cup of T with a Grandma who has a few years somewhere in her past that are completely unaccounted for, but it all came together for the launch at the Northcote Town Hall and now were taking that show on the road.

The Locals, Scott Symes - drums, Roger Young keyboard and James Stanford bass, round out this 4 piece experience. Loud when theres girls to impress, drinking up the riffs J furnishes them with, right on the money while they testify.
