According to Wikipedia... “Their fire and brilliance has long outlasted their ten-year history and the four albums they produced are prized possessions of many music lovers. Blessed with the talents of three formidable musicians and songwriters all sharing an unerring knack for crafting infectious melodies, Sugarfree's music possess a timeless feel and accessibility matched by a precious few. Though heavily influenced by the likes of Popsicle, Oasis, and Radiohead, they sound very different from any of their heroes. Though many new bands emerged during the glory of the scene, Sugarfree remained strong and visible and thus believed to stay in the business for a very long time.”
