JACK OR JIVE

indies - (1989 - )

JACK OR JIVE is a one of the most peculiar and creative bands in the Japanese music scene and also one of those who succeeded in achieving fame abroad. In fact, all of JACK OR JIVE's albums have been released under a German, French or Hong Kong label. This duo also had several opportunities to perform in foreign countries such as Germany, France, Italy, Greece and Taiwan.

Even though the band has been classified under many genres such as "ethereal", "atmospheric gothic", "dark ambient" and so forth, in reality their music is simply difficult to classify under any one genre. Their music has everything from desperate ballads to catchy electronica and pop songs.
