The band was born in Catania from a musical project of Stefano Garaffa Botta and Carmelo Sciuto. Over the years the collaboration of friends who come to join such an initiative, characterizes the band's sound in a fundamental way. Not so easy to classify, Jerica's can swing from noisy structured stuff through top intimate melodies. Their music is the distillation of their everyday lives, a vehicle which translates their basic philosophy of life into a continuous quest for human values.

After the part they played in Lapilli, a compilation set up by Don Zientara and Joey Picuri (Fugazi and Lungfish producers) Jerica's got to release their debut album "Two Ships" (Indigena rec. - Feb '98). Their work is recorded by Agostino Tilotta and Arturo Zitelli. The cd has received favourable reviews by the specialised national press.

The band, apart from many shows on its own, has opened for Blonde Redhead, Uzeda, Aerial M, Dirty Three, thanks to their collaboration with Indigena (booking and management agency) that has remarkably contributed to both the artistic and personal growth of the band, beside giving it valuable moral support. May 2002, Jerica's new work “Edison’s last machine”, is released.
