About Me

Sugarfuse is a hard rock band that dances in the shadows between pop & metal. We put everything that we have into our live show and crafting our songs. We started in Rockford, Illinois but became jaded all too quickly by gigs either in blizzards or 110% humidity. So, we're off to L.A. to chase our dreams & have a hell of a lot of fun. Hope to see you there & feel free to drop us a line.
