Pop Shuvit began making waves in the local music scene in late 2001. Comprising of Moots (vocals), JD (guitars), AJ (bass), Rudy (drums) and UNO (turntables), the band has had 4 successful releases under their belt and rocked fans throughout Asia notably in Japan, Thailand and Singapore. Known for their adrenaline packed live shows and eclectic blend of hip hop and rock, Pop Shuvit are being touted as Asia’s leading Hip Hop Rock band.
Being independent, the boys understood that there was a need to diversify and take the band to the next level as frontman Moots! Pointed out, “That’s the essence of Pop Shuvit, we always do things differently and love taking risks. We want to turn Pop Shuvit into a brand name and to do this we need to branch out and spread our wings be it in music or other facets of urban culture.â€
True to their word, the boys have done just that by setting up Shuvit Management and Studio 21:05 to undertake the responsibilities of band management, marketing, music publishing and music production. Based in Taman Tun, Kuala Lumpur, Studio 21:05 is a fully equipped professional recording studio owned by Pop Shuvit and run by guitarist JD who is a qualified professional audio engineer.
The next step for Pop Shuvit is the world of fashion where Pop Shuvit have set up "UNKNOWN APPAREL". An "URBAN/STREET LIFETSYLE" line, UNKNOWN APPAREL began in 2005 with the introduction of 3 limited edition designs that were sold out in just 3 months.
UNKNOWN APPAREL will not only be responsible for releasing the POP SHUVIT Merchandising line, it will also operate independently and release lines that are not directly linked to the band itself. The clothing line sets out to capture the true nature and vibe of the band. "We wanted to create a line of clothes that we would feel comfortable wearing and we would actually buy off the racks of we saw it" says UNO.
Pop Shuvit has teamed up with local graphic designer JOHN HD and local skate clothing line Zero Hour to come up with 4 new designs for spring 2007. The T-shirts will be available for sale from 1 March onwards and will be launched at the POP SHUVIT JAPAN TOUR 2007 in OSAKA, NAGOYA and TOKYO on 2-4 March 2007.
