[Linda Carbone]

Hello!
Be sure to tune in to Jimmy Kimmel Live! TONIGHT<https://mail.pressherepublicity.com/owa/UrlBlockedError.aspx> to catch JJAMZ’s national television debut –

JJAMZ on Jimmy Kimmel Live! –TONIGHT<https://mail.pressherepublicity.com/owa/UrlBlockedError.aspx>, August 15 @ 12:00<https://mail.pressherepublicity.com/owa/UrlBlockedError.aspx>/11:00 CT
JJAMZ (pronounced juh-jamz) are making their national television debut TONIGHT<https://mail.pressherepublicity.com/owa/UrlBlockedError.aspx>on Jimmy Kimmel Live! at 12:00<https://mail.pressherepublicity.com/owa/UrlBlockedError.aspx>/11:00 CT performing their single “Heartbeat” as well as their album title track, “Suicide Pact”. Comprised of five of music’s most exciting trailblazers, Jason Boesel (Rilo Kiley, Bright Eyes), James Valentine (Maroon 5), Alex Greenwald (Phantom Planet), Michael Runion (solo), and Z Berg (The Like), JJAMZ released their debut album, Suicide Pact last month which 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<https://mail.pressherepublicity.com/owa/UrlBlockedError.aspx> 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. Be sure to tune in!

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

“…JJAMZ makes breathy California pop that’s even catchier, and more clever, than anything from their considerable past.” – New York Daily News

“Los Angeles supercrew is marooned on a Rilo-esque planet, mines most vanilla bits out of Madonna, Blondie, Fleetwood Mac.” – SPIN.com<http://SPIN.com/>

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

 “…more than the sum of its many parts…filled with anthemic aggressive-pop tracks…” – ELLE.com<http://ELLE.com/>

“…L.A. supergroup JJAMZ, which 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

“…infinitely talented indie supergroup rock…” – Hollywood Reporter
