“The world can be dark and depressing. We’re just here to forget about that and party,” says Mikey Baish of The Sugar Hold. And, that’s exactly what the band sets out to do – and does it well – every time they perform (Lucas Garrett, Nippertown, 2022). 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, and John Olander on drums. A band labeled as “surf-punk,” they weave creative influences from bands such as The Pixies and Ramones, with classic sounds from artists such as the Beach Boys, Chuck Berry and Buddy Holly. The Sugar Hold strive promote the good times and feelings that make their music so enjoyable. The party’s just beginning.
