Sugar (American band)

Sugar are an American alternative rock band. Originally active between 1992 and early 1995, they are led by the singer and guitarist Bob Mould (ex-Hüsker Dü), alongside bassist David Barbe (ex-Mercyland) and drummer Malcolm Travis (ex-Human Sexual Response). Copper Blue was named Album Of The Year 1992 by NME. The music videos for the singles "If I Can't Change Your Mind" and "Helpless" received extensive air time on MTV shortly after the album's release.

In October 2025, several social media accounts were created under the name "Sugar Copper Blue," featuring short archival clips of Sugar shows. All three members of Sugar notably followed the Instagram account, fueling reports of a rumored reunion. On October 15, 2025, the band's newly-created website announced live shows in London and New York City in 2026, together with a new song called "House of Dead Memories."
