I agree, their "Bully" was very good - and having heard "Tastes Like Sugar"
(their first & indie release), it was obvious that they were very good
already. In the case of them splitting up...yeah, I've heard this news from
far too many sources of late. The biggest confirmation is that they
announced on their website that the upcoming date they have in June is
indeed the last show. Thru various folks I'm acquainted with that know the
band members, I have gathered that there have been some internal problems -
I don't doubt that a lot of it stems from the bullshit that would go with
being dropped by RCA/BMG just as the album is being released to a lot of
solid reviews and no promotion. RIP Sugarbomb.
