Starting out in the mid-90's, WATER CLOSET fused biting CLASH style guitars with indie rock and melodic punk. They quickly made a name for themselves in a scene with other popular Japanese punk acts of the day including DISGUSTEENS, HI-STANDARD and HUSKING BEE, and even released material on the infamous Pizza of Death label.

The band was formed in 1997 by members of SPROCKET WHEEL and JELLY BELLY. In a true punk tradition they created their own label called "SWEPT RECORDS" and released through them. They have toured the west coast of the US and released their music in the states as well.
