Sugarblast

English 90s indie group from Workington, Cumbria. Original line up Jason Hall-Hetherington - Bass and vocals, Julian Casey - Drums and Brian Findlay (Dam Age) guitar. Early names were the O'Jives and Medicine Hat. Began to develop self penned repertoire including Naughty Reverend and Ceiling. Julian Casey dropped onto guitar when the three piece were joined on drums by Paul Knowles; becoming Sugarblast - a Dr Phibes track title. Local following grew and the group were signed by Emergo Roadrunner and moved to London. First EP release was the classic Mind produced by Brian O'Shaunesy. Some MTV interest including special with interviews with Paul King on 120 minutes. Fan base built up through many live dates throughout the country. Second EP Sunny Outside followed along with Japanese compilation release. Group petered out and all but Hall Hetherington relocated to Workington.
