    JAMAICA to be back in Tokyo later this month!


    Their second album is due to release in 2014!


    JAMAICA are a popular Parisian Indie-Rock duo made up of Antoine Hilaire and Flo Lyonnet. Their debut album “No Problem,” produced by Xavier de Rosnay and released in August 2010, became a huge hit which redefined Rock music for the Digital Age with its powerful hooks, catchy vocal melodies and an unforgettable metallic sound. Their debut single “I Think I Like U 2” marked record sales for an International artist here helped by the fantastic music video directed by SO ME and their B-side track “Short And Entertaining” being included in “Kitsune Maison 9” compilation series gaining even further attention for them. Their debut performance took place prior to their album release, in front of a packed crowd on the Red Marquee stage of Fuji Rock Festival ’10, attesting to their popularity here and also solidifying them as a great live band. They were chosen as cover boys of the September issue of the Tower Records published Music Magazine “Bounce,” and their album “No Problem” went on to become the “Breakthrough Album” of iTunes Japan’s “Electronic” chart in 2010. They followed things up further with a highly successful Japan Tour in January 2011 and later also performed triumphantly at Sonic Mania, the all-night pre-party to Summer Sonic ’11. JAMAICA have just finished recording their follow-up album due for release in 2014 and will be coming over to have their Japanese fans hear some of their new songs. Don’t miss JAMAICA performing a very special “Acoustic Set” in addition to a “DJ Set” at “Factory Girl” taking place on October 25th over at the Liquid Room in Tokyo!
