The Sugar Hold doesn’t play any specific genre of music, their milieu isn’t from any specific decade, and they truly don’t have any agenda other than to have a good time. They’re pure rock n roll. A lot of us believed that kind of innocent purity didn’t and couldn’t exist anymore. But it does; right here in upstate New York. (W.A. Wright, Nippertown, 2023). Hailing from Troy, NY, The Sugar Hold consists of Mikey Baish on guitar and vocals, Dan Clark on lead guitar, Matt Malone on bass and vocals, Ryan McCalla on guitar and keyboards, and Jesse Winchester on drums. A band labeled as “surf-punk,” groups they could actually be compared to like the Crickets, the Beach Boys, early Beatles or the Clash are not going to be bands they sound very much like given over fifty years of changes to production and instruments. Instead, they put together an eclectic mix of all the great rock bands from the 50s to today. The Sugar Hold strive promote the good times and feelings that make their music so enjoyable. The party’s just beginning.
