Sugarblade was started in July 2004 when Miguel Staunton and Alec
Brietzke first sat down together to jam out some songs. Both musicians
had just come from broken bands and had been looking forward to doing
an acoustic project to take a bit of a break. Realizing that the songs
had real potential the duo decided to try the full-band approach once
again. Recently coming out of a band herself, (Maverick recording
artist, "Lillix"), Kim Urhahn seemed an ideal addition on drums. Soon
after, Greg M., an old friend of Alec's, joined the trio on bass, thus
completing the band. It became obvious after only a few live shows that
Sugarblade had something special. The band gained a loyal following
instantly and has been playing relentlessly to rave reviews and an
ever-growing fanbase. The band released a 7-song EP entitled "Faux" in
July of 2006, which has been selling steadily and exposing them to more
and more fans. Several independent and college radio stations have
recently added Sugarblade to their regular rotation and the band is
poised to take their music to the highest level possible.
Sugarblade considers themselves a rock band with a hint of
power-pop. The chemistry of this foursome lies in the fact that each
member comes from a different musical background in terms of influences
and styles. Take an instantly-recognizable vocalist with a style that
is a blend of Morrisey, Muse, and Peter Gabriel. Add a guitarist …

Sugarblade considers themselves a rock band with a hint of
power-pop. The chemistry of this foursome lies in the fact that each
member comes from a different musical background in terms of influences
and styles. Take an instantly-recognizable vocalist with a style that
is a blend of Morrisey, Muse, and Peter Gabriel. Add a guitarist
heavily immersed in the glamrock and metal of the 80's, with a
incredible knack for melody. Now add a rhythm section consisting of a
rock-solid drummer with an ear for detail, and a metal bassist with a
love for all music dark and angry. Combine those elements with great
songwriting, a love for what they do and a sound all their own and you
have Sugarblade.
