Biography

Defending pop-punk & pop-rock for more than 15 years in Canada and internationally, Kamakazi has released 4 albums, 6 EPs and over 15 music videos. With over 300 concerts in Canada and Europe under their belt and several thousands albums sold, they also generated millions of plays on digital music services, several #1 charting singles on radio and countless spins on music channels such as MTV, MuchMusic, MUCHLOUD, and MusiquePlus here and abroad.

Kamakazi released their debut French album « Tirer le meilleur du pire » in 2008 through the Montreal-based record label Slam Disques. The album exploded on the scene with huge singles such as ''Rien entre les deux oreilles'', ''Isa'' & ''Clomysalyne'' and garnered massive TV and Radio airplay in Canada followed by appearances on some of the biggest music festivals.

In 2011, the band's sophomore album « Rien à cacher », released on Indica Records and including the two lead singles ''Fou de toi'' & ''Winnebago'', saw the band reach international audiences and ultimately get nominated for Best Rock Album at the Gala de l'ADISQ.

In 2013, the band launched their third album « See What Happens » - their first in English - along with a French EP called « Foxyboxe » giving them their first #1 singles in both languages.

Teaming up with Slam Disques once again, Kamakazi released their fourth album « Regarde Maman, I'm on the TV! » in early 2016 to much acclaim among critics and fans.

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of their debut album in 2018, Kamakazi reunited the original lineup to embark on a 10-date tour in Québec. The following year, the band released a cover of Montreal rapper Loud's phenomenal hit ''Toutes les femmes savent danser” on Slam Disques’s yearly ZOO cover song compilation, garnering massive airplay on both FM and satellite radio.
