SUGAR FOR THE PILL

Opening with dreamy vocals, post punk basslines and melodic riffs from our own very special Sugar For The Pill juggling between the nostalgic and dynamic sound of 90s shoegaze bands like My Bloody Valentine and Slowdive, as well as dreamy female vocals that they take us to the era of dreamy/indie alternative bands, such as Cocteau Twins and Lush but at the same time with references to post punk revival bands such as Interpol.
