There's also an EP from Sugarbomb that they shopped after they lost their
deal with RCA. The songs continue the sound from Bully, but nothing as
instantly classic as "Hello". Still, I recommend everyone try to tracks
these songs down if they can...excellent power pop.

Sugarbomb
All this talk of Tsar got me thinking of a band I really loved from that
era, Sugarbomb. I did a quick search on half.com/ebay and found that not
only is "Bully" out of print, but it's already becoming somewhat
expensive. I guess it's good that they were liked well enough to engender
such a fan base, but sad that the album is already so far out of print
just a few years later.
Obviously "Bully" was a compromised album, with some touches that were
distinctly nods to the modern rock scene at the time (a few tips of the
hat to rap metal, mostly, though they're largely minor and forgivable),
but it's one of my favorites.
So I happened to sail over to the itunes store, and I find a real gem! Not
only do they still sell "Bully" for $9.99, but they ALSO sell Sugarbomb's
VERY out of print independent release "Tastes Like Sugar" for only
$9.99!!! Some, but not all, of these songs were re-recorded and recycled
on "Bully", but the ones on the earlier album are different versions. This
album is very rare and I know a lot of Auditeers had been looking for it,
so I thought I'd give you all a heads-up.
And just a bit of editorializing: Making out-of-print or otherwise rare
material available again is one of the BEST possible uses for digital
download sites. I hope to see more of this in the future!
