Sugar
In the aftermath of Nirvana's commercial breakthrough unhinging a flood of loud, powerful and uncompromising USA-based music, Bob Mould (b. 16 October 1960, Malone, New York, USA; guitar, vocals) found himself subject to the somewhat unflattering representation "Godfather of Grunge". The ex-Hsker D songwriter earned this accolade on the back of his former group's considerable influence, but with Sugar he seemed set to continue to justify the critical plaudits that have followed his every move. Joined by David Barbe (b. 30 September 1963, Atlanta, USA; bass, vocals, ex-Mercyland) and Malcolm Travis (b. 15 February 1953, Niskayuna, New York, USA; drums, ex-Zulus), he found another powerful triumvirate to augment his own muse. Barbe proved particularly complementary - a talented songwriter in his own right, his presence as a forthright and intelligent counterpoint mirrored the contribution Grant Hart made to Hsker D.
