New band "SUGAR IN THE CLOSET" has formed, 1st album release + vocalist departs

glad i’m not the only one who thinks this!! it’s a nice album, i want to hear more like it~

there’s still some vkei spirit in there somehow; i’ve tried some jrock but to me there’s always something lacking that Sugar managed to maintain.

i think they’ll be fine w/ whoever sings for them next; Kai’s voice was nice but didn’t seem super critical to their sound imho?
& i’m really hoping he finds a nice band for him too, the guy’s got hella creativity and talent but this never didn’t seem like a weird fit for him lol

How do you even come up with such a band name?

new look without Kai; all of the members will also take on vocal duties

I don’t understand why they just dont get a new vocalist or why they went non-vkei for that matter. Kai is just famous for leaving any band at this point for whatever reason. It’s kinda odd to me. Eh it will be interesting to at least hear I guess the voices of instrumental members.

Those announcements always excites me and make me worried at the same time.
Having a group where every bandmember does vocals always give them a bigger connection and more spotlight in the music. But you also are worried that they just can’t sing.

I was trying to recommend this band to a friend and saw their album seems to have disappeared :frowning:

Maybe my Google skills suck but if it weren’t for this forum + my memory i’d almost doubt my memory it existed

Well idk if i want to complain or pry into what they’ve not said publicly…

but i’ll just say rip to an extremely good album with no peers that deserves 10 or more bands imitating, learning from in its wake

I found they’re still listing copies of their first album on their webshop, so I’m attempting to snag one. I’ll follow up if I get my hands on it. It’s a shame :pensive_face: .

Yes please!! Lmk what you think of it, even if you’re not into it - i’ll warn you it’s really “not vkei” but i prefer to think of it as “challenging the edge of what vkei can be”

Oh, I’ve been listening to them since they started (it’s a shame that’s the only release Kai did vo. for), I just never got around to purchasing a physical copy ;;. I agree with your assessment.
