This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 35.171.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:20, 2 December 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Popsicle''' is a Swedish pop group in [[Piteå]], Sweden, which together with [[This Perfect Day (band)|This Perfect Day]], [[The Wannadies]] and [[Brainpool (band)|Brainpool]] started the 1990s indiepop wave in Sweden.

==History==
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 (album)|Template]]'' (1992) on Skellefteå label [[A West Side Fabrication]].  Later that year they issued ''[[Lacquer (album)|Lacquer]]'' which reached number 34 in the national charts<ref>((Cite web|url=https://swedishcharts.com/showitem.asp?interpret=Popsicle&titel=Lacquer&cat=a|title=Popsicle – Lacquer|website=Swedishcharts.com|accessdate=21 November 2020))</ref> and included the song "[[Hey Princess]]". The album was well received by both critics and record buyers and won a [[Grammis|Grammis Award]].<ref>((Cite web|url=http://www.grammis.se/press/Grammisvinnare_1969-2008.pdf|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110717135324/http://www.grammis.se/press/Grammisvinnare_1969-2008.pdf|url-status=dead|title=ROCK GROUP OF THE YEAR – Popsicle – Lacquer – "For an impressive sensitivity in the art of writing expressive melodies, as in a congenial way joins together brittleness and spiky dissonance to a winning formula.|archivedate=17 July 2011|accessdate=21 November 2020))</ref> The group was given major publicity when the group's guitarist Fredrik Norberg said he wished that the members of dance band [[Arvingarna]] would die in a bus accident.<ref>((cite news|url=https://www.svt.se/kultur/musik/hojdpunkter-fran-grammisgalor|title=Höjdpunkter från Grammisgalan genom åren|publisher=Sveriges Television|author=Rebecca Haimi|language=Swedish|date=25 February 2015|accessdate=17 December 2020))</ref><ref>((cite episode | url = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sV6UpEH28aE | title = Nr. 77-67 |episode-link= | series = 100 big shot] | credits = [[Filip och Fredrik]] | network = [[Kanal 5 (Sweden)]] | airdate = 2004 | season = 1 | number = 3))</ref>

The songs were written by Norberg and Mattsson and was initially influenced by British guitar-based [[shoegazer]] band [[My Bloody Valentine (band)|My Bloody Valentine]] and [[Ride (band)|Ride]].((Citation needed|date=August 2010))  Popsicle may have laid the foundations of the Swedish [[Independent music|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.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://swedishcharts.com/showitem.asp?interpret=Popsicle&titel=Not+Forever&cat=s|title=Popsicle – Not Forever|website=Swedishcharts.com|accessdate=21 November 2020))</ref>

Popsicle broke up in April 1999 when Fredrik Norberg, after a Japanese tour, announced that he would quit the band.((Citation needed|date=August 2010))  Six years later the band reunited after a request from the record store Pet Sounds((Citation needed|date=August 2010)) who wanted them to play on the store's 25th anniversary. The band liked the idea((Citation needed|date=August 2010)) and also played an exclusive farewell gig at the [[Cirkus (Stockholm)|Cirkus]], Stockholm on 4 April 2005.<ref>((Cite web |url=http://www.popsicle.se/ |title=Popsicle |access-date=2010-08-10 |archive-date=2009-02-24 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090224193115/http://www.popsicle.se/ |url-status=dead ))</ref>

The band reformed in 2018 and have played a number of gigs in recent years. They most recently performed at the Stockholm Culture Festival where they played the Popsicle album in full.
