The Jessica Fletchers formed in Oslo in 1997. The guys had just about enough of the music scene in Drammen, just outside Oslo, a scene that consisted of mainly of metal, prog-rock and punk rock outfits, and decided to do something about it. After trying out some local pubs and clubs it didn’t take long before they ran into a studio and recorded their self financed "unofficial" debut album I CAN SHOOT YOU FROM HERE (1998) …and so the story begins.
In 2000, after signing with Norwegian indie label Perfect Pop they released SORRY ABOUT THE NOISE EP, which went on to be an underground hit in the Oslo clubs.
In 2001 the band played their most memorable and remarkable gig at Paragrafen, Oslo, and were later offered to play on Zoom (Zoom is a contest where the winner gets a tour as the reward) The Jessica Fletchers won, and together they toured with two other bands, south to north and back again.
COME ON (IT’S ONLY NINE) recorded in 2002 spawned the soon-to-be-massive song Bloody Seventies Love, a song that would later cement the deal with guitar pop label, Rainbow Quartz.
Having more recently toured with Swedish heavyweights The Hives, and American indie-psych-pop faves the Apples in Stereo, Oslo, Norway based Jessica Fletchers are now set to storm the North American pop scene with their great new record, WHAT HAPPENED TO THE?
