Sugar

Deep house
Deep house

Sugar is a Deep house act. Their sound grew out of Hüsker Dü. Those roots explain a lot about how Sugar arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Bob Mould, The Lemonheads, Superchunk, Afghan Whigs and Teenage Fanclub, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Rich Flex, MASS OF THE FERMENTING DREGS, Mineral and Pablo Honey, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 34 connections around Sugar, reaching back through Hüsker Dü and forward to Rich Flex. Follow any of those threads to keep travelling the influence between bands and genres on Starverb.
