“Imagine young Madonna as a Britpop act. Or a supergroup from The Like, Maroon 5, Rilo Kiley and Phantom Planet.” – USA Today

“…sun-soaked melancholy goes down like a poolside daiquiri, serving up synth shimmers and breathy SoCal alienation (see the excellently hazy ‘Heartbeat’)…” –Entertainment Weekly

“While JJAMZ is more than the sum of its many parts, that it’s filled with anthemic aggressive-pop tracks is no surprise…” – ELLE.com<http://ELLE.com/>

“…[JJAMZ] has produced one of the year's best indie-rock records so far, full of sticky tunes, chewy guitar textures and some excellently icy vocals.” – Time Out New York

JJAMZ are making the video for their new single “Heartbeat” available TODAY at MTVU.com<http://MTVU.com/>. The video adds a dark twist to what is, upon first listen, a perfect summer pop gem featuring Z Berg as the damsel in distress as she races to outrun an eerie high school predator– press HERE<http://www.mtvu.com/music/jjamz-heartbeat/> to watch. Additionally, you can get a first listen of Suicide Pact prior to release at AOL Spinner HERE<http://music.aol.com/new-releases-full-cds/spinner#/2>.  Suicide Pact will be available digitally TOMORROW, July 10, and physically on July 17 via Dangerbird. Order the album via iTunes HERE<http://smarturl.it/jjamz-suicidepact>.  JJAMZ are also kicking off their Nylon Summer Music Tour dates, supporting Neon Trees, TONIGHT in Philadelphia. The band will be in NYC tomorrow, July 10 at Webster Hall an in LA on July 30 at The Wiltern. Full tour routing is below.

JJAMZ (pronounced juh-Jamz) is comprised of Jason Boesel (Rilo Kiley, Bright Eyes), James Valentine (Maroon 5), Alex Greenwald (Phantom Planet), Michael Runion (solo), and Z Berg (The Like) – in a musical story of best friends.  Made up of five of music’s most exciting trailblazers, the members of JJAMZ are important staples in the LA music scene and have put together a collective album which underscores their place as one of today’s vital bands.

Suicide Pact was self-produced by the band with the added talents of Jason Lader (Maroon 5, Rilo Kiley, Julian Casablancas). Only friends as close as JJAMZ could provide such a rewarding synthesis of disparate musical tastes, coupled with perilously revealing lyrics; it's as if Rumours were recorded by My Bloody Valentine, Fiona Apple sang “Heart of Glass”, or Andrew W.K. wrote Saturday Night Fever. From the Madonna-esque lead single “Heartbeat” to the churning, he-said, she-said “LAX” and the wistfully dark album title track “Suicide Pact” to the crooning, smooth vocal pairings between Berg and Runion on “Cleverly Disguised”, each and every song stands on its own as a heart-wrenching narrative and a master course in lyrical prowess.
