An Israeli band founded in 1965, active until the mid-1970’s. It was a part of the rhythm bands scene that were active in Israel in the 1970s, especially in Ramla. The band played rock music in English, from Psychedelic Rock to Hard Rock and Progressive Rock. It was also active in other countries, and was one of the first Israeli rock bands.

The band was a leading force in the early Israeli beat scene, but it was their cooperation with Arik Einstein that helped them cross over to the mainstream of Israeli Pop and gain recognition. Their collaboration with Einstein proved to be very influential on Israeli Rock. It began when they were invited to work with Einstein on his third solo album Poozy. This is considered by many to be the first rock album in Hebrew. The band played on half of the tracks in that album, one of which was a Hebrew version of one of their own songs (“When You’re Gone”). Following Poozy, they also played with Einstein in his gigs, and continued to play and produce three more albums with Einstein: Shablul, Plastelina and On Avigdor’s Grass. Contributory to Jericho’s sound at the time was the joining of two foreign members: Canadian vocalist Stan Solomon and British guitarist Robb Huxley (formerly with The Tornados).
