Sugar was an influential American alternative rock trio (1992-1996, reunited 2025) fronted by Bob Mould (ex-Hüsker Dü) with bassist David Barbe and drummer Malcolm Travis, known for their melodic, cathartic power-pop sound on acclaimed albums like Copper Blue (1992) and File Under: Easy Listening (1994), featuring hits such as "If I Can't Change Your Mind" and "Helpless". After almost 30 years, the band made a triumphant return in 2025 with their acclaimed single 'House of Dead Memories'. Sugar has now returned with a new single titled "Long Live Love" as part of a 7" vinyl release of both singles se for release on May 1st via BMG. Influenced by Mould's blend of DJ influences, melodic guitar rock, and pop songwriting, the new single is a nostalgic yet innovative fusion of grinding guitar riffs and lush synth textures with big melodies and hooks that Sugar is known for. With the upcoming release of 'Long Live Love' and their 'Love You Even Still' 2026 World Tour, Sugar's reunion after three decades has sparked immense excitement among fans, reaffirming their status as trailblazers of the alternative rock genre.

Starting out on the floors of squats and basements, SHORELINE have played pretty much every venue in Europe that has provided them with a power outlet over the past ten years. Since then, they have played shows with scene legends such as FOUR YEAR STRONG, KNUCKLE PUCK, and SILVERSTEIN. This February, they will be touring the UK with ARM’S LENGTH – and just recently, they played a sold-out, acclaimed hometown show at Sputnikhalle in Münster with 600 tickets sold, their biggest headlining concert to date. SHORELINE was formed in 2015 out of a desire to be an active part of the scene back home in Münster. First demo songs on YouTube and plenty of DIY diligence soon got the band on the road. With their third album, To Figure Out, SHORELINE gained attention beyond Europe’s borders when they became the first German band to release an album on the US label Pure Noise Records. The band is gearing up to release their latest LP 'Is This The Low Point Or The Moment After?' on March 13, 2026, through Pure Noise Records.
