Subwoolfer is a Norwegian pop duo that will represent Norway in the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 with "Give That Wolf a Banana" after winning Melodi Grand Prix 2022. The identities of the two are not known but they call themselves Keith and Jim.[2]

History

On 10 January 2022, NRK revealed that Subwoolfer would compete in Melodi Grand Prix 2022, the Norwegian national final for the Eurovision Song Contest 2022. They didn't reveal their identities, and wore a wolf mask, gloves and suit during their performances. The band's name is a combination of the words subwoofer and wolf.

The duo published a fictional story about their origins, that states that the duo was formed 4.5 billion years ago on the moon,[3] they also have claimed that they're the biggest band in the galaxy on their social media accounts.[4] A number of speculations have been raised and posted on social media about the identity of the duo members. Among the names attributed to the duo are Gaute Ormåsen, Ben Adams and the Ylvis brothers.[5][6]

Subwoolfer were announced as part of the artists who were pre-qualified for Melodi Grand Prix 2022, with the song "Give That Wolf a Banana". They were scheduled to perform their song on 29 January 2022, in the third heat of the competition, but due to a positive COVID-19 test their performance was cancelled. Instead, they performed their song in the fourth heat, and NorthKid performed in the third heat. They performed it again in the final, on 19 February, and went on to win the competition with 368,106 votes.

Upon winning the national final, Subwoolfer became Norway's representative in the Eurovision Song Contest 2022, and are set to perform in the second half of the first semi-final on 10 May 2022 in Turin, Italy.[7]

On 11 February 2022, they released a Valentine's Day version of their song named "Give That Wolf a Romantic Banana".
