Juliette and the Licks are a U.S. rock band with U.S. actress Juliette Lewis. Other band members include guitarists Todd Morse (of H₂O and The Operation M.D.) and Kemble Walters, bassist Paul Ill, and drummer Jason Morris. Songs include 'You're Speaking My Language' and 'Got Love To Kill'.

Juliette and the Licks released their first EP 'Like A Bolt Of Lightning,' in 2004, which was shortly followed by the release of their debut album 'You're Speaking My Language.' The album spawned their most successful single 'You're Speaking My Language,' and the less successful, disco influenced 'Got Love To Kill.' The released version of the second single was a remix of the original song, which had a more rock influence.

The band is still performing as of November 2006 and is occasionally erroneously billed as Juliet and the Licks.

Morris left the band before sessions for the 2nd album had begun. The Licks then recruited Foo Fighters frontman, Dave Grohl to fill the gap. Grohl then went on to ask the Licks to be a guest act at the Foo Fighters sell out Hyde Park performance on the 17 June, 2006 to around 85,000 people (other acts were Angels and Airwaves, Queens of the Stone Age and Motörhead). At the same event, Lewis and Moa Holmsten from Meldrum came on stage for one of Motörhead's songs to do backing vocals.

After their peformance at Hyde Park, their second album 'Four On The Floor,' was released in late 2006. 'Hot Kiss' which was one of the Licks' most successful singles, was the first release off of the album and the following single 'Sticky Honey,' proved less commercially successful.

With the release of their second album, Juliette and the Licks went on tour in late 2006 in America and many parts of Europe.
