Triceratops, also shortened to Tricera, is a Japanese rock band formed in 1996. Their work has been compared to Do As Infinity.
Primarily influenced by British invasion bands such as The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, Irish rockers U2, Radiohead and American acts such as Michael Jackson, the band's songs feature strong melodic lines, harmonies and are often backed by straight blues-influenced rock and roll. Their name comes from the number of members being equivalent to the number of horns on a triceratops.
