Kamikazee is a Filipino rock band formed in 2000. The band is composed of Jay Contreras (lead vocals), Jomal Linao (guitar and vocals), Led Tuyay (guitar), Puto Astete (bass) and Bords Burdeos (drums).
Fans and critics have described the band’s music as a mix of pop punk and hardcore punk.
In 2006, they released their second album, “Maharot“. The carrier single of the album was “Narda“, which is about the fictional Filipina super hero Darna. “Narda“ was a popular hit in 2006, and gained constant radio airplay in the same year, eventually becoming the band’s signature song. The song was inspired by GMA Network’s 2005 primetime show Darna which starred Angel Locsin. Later in 2009, it was used for GMA Network’s primetime show Darna with Marian Rivera playing the title role. The band also borrowed from other genres of music in composing their songs for the album, as evidenced by the metal-inspired sound of the tracks “Sobrang Init“ and “KKK“, the pop-punk styling of the songs “Director’s Cut“ and “Martyr Nyebera“ and the reggae-sounding feel of “Petix“. Maharot was recognized for its sound, and further propelled the band to mainstream success.
The band maintains close ties with another popular Filipino band, Parokya ni Edgar (PNE). PNE frontman Chito Miranda met the band members in college. In concert events with both bands on the bill, one band’s singer would occasionally jam with the other band. During Parokya ni Edgar’s live sessions, Contreras frequently joined Miranda in performing songs such as “Okatokat“, “Chikinini“ and “The Yes Yes Show.“ In 2005, Contreras provided back-up vocals for PNE’s hit song “The Order Taker“ while co-member Linao provided lead guitar. In turn, Kaye Abad, Miranda’s then-girlfriend, provided back-up vocals for Kamikazee’s song “Martyr Nyebera“. Contreras later married Kaye Abad’s sister, Sarah, on February 12, 2009 at Paco Park.
In December 2008 when Kamikazee was set to perform at the Dubai Festival City in Dubai, United Arab Emirates as part of an international tour, guitarist Led Tuyay was arrested at the airport upon their arrival after a cannabis residue was found in his luggage. Tuyay was detained and deported back to Manila in January 2009.
In August 2015, the band had temporarily reunited after a brief hiatus announced earlier in January 2015 and in the beginning of 2016, the band officially entered an indefinite hiatus. They played their farewell concert on December 10, 2015 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. Later, the band makes reunion gigs and tours since 2017.
