THE SUGARS - THE CURSE OF THE SUGARS

(AU magazine July 2008)

(BAD SNEAKERS RECORDS)

A timeless, ageless romp through musical genres and rhythms, The Sugars' debut album is a rich tapestry of rock. From opener 'Black Friday' on, it's hard to believe the trio hail from Leeds, England and not New York City. Phill Jupitus fave 'Monsters' is comedic and dramatic, whilst 'Gossip' brings radio-friendly populism in a riff-laden package. The use of complementary male and female vocals give the record the perfect sweetness - and enough spice to make sure it's never too saccharine.
