Vocalist and guitarist Bob Mould (Hüsker Dü), bassist David Barbe (Mercyland), and drummer Malcolm Travis have reformed Sugar. The band's put out another single, and it's a winner in a big way.
The yearning vocals from Bob, pulsing bass from David, and punk-y drums from Malcolm make this a song in the classic Sugar fashion. Mould keeps the chords fuzzy and crunchy and the cut stands out as a good example of all that there is to love in the music of Bob Mould.
Sugar will be embarking on a big tour this year. They will be playing The Anthem in D.C. in October. Details here.
"House of Dead Memories" / "Long Live Love" by Sugar is out now. More details via the official Sugar website.
