Kamakazi is a Canadian pop-punk and pop-rock band from Montreal, Canada formed in 2006. They released 4 albums, 6 EPs, and more than 15 music videos. With a track record of over 300 concerts across Canada and Europe, coupled with thousands of albums sold and millions of digital music plays.[1][2]
The band's debut French album, Tirer le meilleur du pire, launched in 2008 on Slam Disques, and indie record label. The album featured chart-topping singles such as Rien entre les deux oreilles, Isa, and Clomysalyne, earning them widespread recognition on Canadian television and radio, along with coveted slots at major music festivals.[1][2]
In 2011, Kamakazi's sophomore release, Rien à Cacher, released by Indica Records, expanded their reach globally with hit singles Fou de toi and Winnebago. The album's success culminated in a nomination for Best Rock Album at the Gala de l'ADISQ.[1][2]
The band's foray into English music came in 2013 with the launch of their third album, See What Happens, complemented by a French EP, Foxyboxe, which produced their first #1 singles in both languages. They also produced five Christmas EPs (A Very Naughty Kamakazi Christmas, A Naughtier Kamakazi Christmas, The Naughtiest Kamakazi Christmas, A Even Naughtier Than The Naughtiest Kamakazi Christmas and A More Angry Than Naughty Kamakazi Christmas) which have gathered over millions of streams over the last decade.[2][1]
Their fourth album, Regarde Maman, I'm on the TV! was released in early 2016 and received critical acclaim and fan appreciation alike. A tour of Canada and Europe followed.[1]
In 2018, marking the 10th anniversary of their debut album, Kamakazi went on a 10-date tour in Canada. The subsequent year saw the release of a pop-punk cover of Montreal rapper Loud's hit Toutes les femmes savent danser on Slam Disques's ZOO cover song compilation, achieving significant airplay on FM and satellite radio.[3] [4][1]
