Music Existence Because of Music, We Exist
During their initial run, Sugartooth made a lasting impression among alternative rock audiences with their eponymous debut album in 1994, and its 1997 follow-up, The Sounds of Solid. Both albums encompassed genre specific eras within the decade, the first rooted in no-frills heavy metal and grunge of the early 90s, and the second incorporating sample-based experimentalism in line with the decade’s later period.
Given the band’s split after the release of the second album, alongside continued positive reception to both albums over the years, longtime fans had since held out hope for a reunion, and possibly, some new material. Their wishes would be dually granted. Sugartooth not only reunited in 2021, but on April 21st of this year, they released a whole new album, Volume 3, which is by and large a return to fine form.
Being a longtime fan of the band myself, I was also pleasantly surprised at their return and thought it necessary to interview them. I reached out to bassist Josh Blum, and he and frontman Marc Hutner agreed to come on to discuss the new album, as well as the extent of their career. Ultimately, the band remains strong and bonded over 25 years later.
