Sugar was an indie rock band of the early 1990s led by former Hüsker Dü vocalist/guitarist Bob Mould. ex-Mercyland bassist David Barbe and ex-Zulus and Human Sexual Response drummer Malcolm Travis rounded out the trio.
The band released two records in 1992, Copper Blue which was named NME's Album of the Year and Beaster , which was an EP of darker material recorded during the Copper Blue sessions. After an aborted attempt to record a second full-length,the band regrouped and was recorded quickly in the spring of 1994, and was released that fall. A B-Side Collection, Besides followed in 1995, and Mould broke the band up later that year.
