Originally starting out as a self-described "indie/alternative" act in 1994, Nicotine were first introduced to punk and ska upon their starting time American go during the summer of that year. Immediately after returning to their aboriginal Tokyo, Howie Sato (vocals/guitar), Yasu (guitar), Full (bass) and Naoki (drum) drastically altered their sound to something that was a lot more than aggressive and fast paced, piece at the like time melodic and catchy. Eventually, this "newfangled sound" resulted in their starting time mini-album Royal Mellow Day, which was released on their own Sky Records in 1996. Following their 1997 full-length Hola Amigo!, Nicotine re-released Royal Mellow Day on the ...Will Kill You!!! EP in 1998; all of which, features the high free energy pop-punk and ska undertones that they were impressed with upon their first circuit of the United States.
