Throughout the 803 they released a string of hugely influential records including Zen Arcade and New Day Rising. Their unique blend of thrashy punk, melody and musical ambition were an inspiration to everyone from the Pixies and Radiohead to Nirvana. 2 Sugar As if one legendary band wasn‘t enough. Mould went on to form Sugar after Htisker on split. During the early 903 they were at the front of the grunge explosion. spawning two superb albums and a few hit singles along the way.
. . . and shares the solo materiai Mould has continued to record and release a diverse range of solo albums over the last 20 years. These have incorporated everything from country and hardcore to electronica and dance music. He also still Dds at a gay club in his Washington hometown.
