SPiCYSOL is a four-member band that blends various genres such as rock, funk, and r&b with the goal of blending the sounds of City and Surf. The lead singer for the group is Kenny, who also plays guitar. The lead guitarist is Akun, while Kazuma plays the drums. Lastly, Pete plays the keyboard, trumpet, and does backup vocals, depending on the song. SPiCYSOL excels in their ability to create fun and unique compositions that pull the listener in. I like the trumpet when it is used; it jazzes up the tracks and adds something different to their compositions. Lead vocalist Kenny’s vocals are performed well and suit the compositions, also guitarist Akun’s guitar work is very nuanced, and it complements the music without being overbearing. One of my favorite songs of the year is their track “So What”, which shows off each member of the band and is a fun track to play on repeat.

In 2015 they dropped their first album, To the C. The band made their major debut with Warner Music Japan on April 7 of 2021 with their release “ONE-EP”. On October 6 of 2021, the band dropped their first major album titled From The C.
