Japanese indie music veterans Swinging Popsicle play pop/rock music in amazing fashion with incredible vocals, tasty guitar work and catchy song writing. After starting strong with multiple Sony-label releases, Swinging Popsicle continued to build their international fan base with their independent releases of "Change" and "Orange." Their album "transit" features the hits "I Just Wanna Kiss You" and "Girl Meets Boy." Performing to regular sold-out one-man live shows (some running as long a 3 hours!) the band continued to develop new material for their full-length album "Go on" which features "rainbounds," "Clash," and "Chocolate Soul Music."
Swinging Popsicle also contributed music to the NITRO+ PC game "STAR MINE GIRL / SUMAGA."
Swinging Popsicle was nominated as Best Japanese Rock Band by Shojo Beat magazine.
USA appearances include: Fanime (San Jose, CA), Anime Mid-Atlantic (Richmond, VA), Knitting Factory (New York City)
