The band's four members, Andreas Mattsson (vocals, guitar), Fredrik Norberg (guitar, vocals), PA Wikander (drums) and Kenneth Wikstrom (bass), later replaced by Arvid Lind, formed the band in Stockholm in 1991 and released their first mini-album Template (1992) on Skellefteå label A West Side Fabrication.
Later that year they issued Lacquer which reached number 34 in the national charts[1] and included the song "Hey Princess".
[3][4] The songs were written by Norberg and Mattsson and was initially influenced by British guitar-based shoegazer band My Bloody Valentine and Ride.
[citation needed] Popsicle may have laid the foundations of the Swedish indie scene, but it was not until four years later as the band played through to a wider audience, that they had their biggest hit – the single "Not Forever" from the self-titled third album.
The band liked the idea[citation needed] and also played an exclusive farewell gig at the Cirkus, Stockholm on 4 April 2005.
