Mountain Climer — Four Lane Road Media

Mountain Climer is the solo project of singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jeremy Climer. Jeremy grew up in Columbus, Indiana, with stops in Indianapolis, Los Angeles, Chicago, Louisville, Los Angeles (again) along the way before settling in Colorado. He grew up on his family’s old country music and classic rock radio before finding punk rock in the early 90s. Growing up along Indiana 11, just north of John Mellencamp’s childhood home, he didn’t have access to cable in his home to regularly watch MTV. After finding the Sex Pistols in Karma Records around 1993, he dived deep into punk rock. He is still heavily influenced by the Sex Pistols, as well as Nick Cave, the Cure, Depeche Mode, the Smiths, the Jesus & Mary Chain, Tom Petty, Oasis and Stereophonics.

Jeremy started playing guitar in 1991 and as soon as he learned a power chord he started writing songs. This life long pursuit has provided the privilege of working with many of his life-long musical heroes such as Paul Roessler, Bill Stevenson and Paul Mahern.

In 2022, he released his solo debut, I’m Not Enough & That’s Okay, which he says was, “Unfinished business. The pop punk record I always wanted to make.” It was also a learning experience as he was learning to record himself at his own studio. After some hard truths from Bill Stevenson in the mixing process, he took some time and enrolled in a recording program to better his studio skills. This is where he met Travis Dolan from Level 32 Studio in Denver.

In 2023, he released two EPs and a single, Let the Blood Flow, Lead a Horse to Water and “A Pretty Good Picture”, respectively. Both EPs were mixed and mastered by Travis Dolan at Level 32. With one EP released in 2024, he has been hard at work with Paul Mahern on his upcoming full-length LP to be released in early 2025.
