MOLICE

Molice is a Tokyo indie band formed around 2007. Originally from 2 seperate bands 'The Rage Cars' and 'ChinaChop'. Several members of both bands came together to form this really great band. Their style is very much Indie, but they have been labeled mistakenly as jpop in the past. Their sound appears to be heavily influenced by bands such as The Beatles and Sonic Youth. They have a very familiar sound, however it is quite unique, lending them that something special that grows their Tokyo club, cult following with each passing gig.
