Artist Profile
THE BERSERKERSTHE BERSERKERS are an 11-member roots reggae and dub collective based in Tokyo, Japan.
Founded in 2020 by university friends, the band emerged from a shared passion for roots reggae and dub. Drawing inspiration from the foundations of Jamaican music while embracing the diverse influences of its members, THE BERSERKERS create a sound that is both deeply rooted and forward-looking.
