The Sugars
Black Friday

This record left our BRIAN D feeling happy.

Another West Yorks act are The Sugars who are signed to Bad Sneakers. They've definitely got a good, full retro rock sound but there's a little too much Ocean Colour Scene/Weller in it for me, yet I reckon they're trying to get a bit of a Fifties rock and 60s garage/soul vibe to their tunes. Unfortunately the production is too modern and dulls the potential edge from 'Black Friday'. I think they'd like to be The Von Bondies (I love the feisty male/female vocal face-off but this all reminds the office of Do Me Bad Things. Then again if 3 people can sound like 9 then they must be 3 times more powerful? I like the flip 'Isle of Sirens' which is more of a Chris Isaak brooder with some nice echo-laden twanging and a powerful vocal. They're worth catching live too!
