SuG

[Edit]

Sug was formed in October 2006 by Takeru, Masato and Yuji (Who had all been members of another band called Travel) and Shouta. The drummer Mitsuru then joined in November of the same year.
Shouta left the band in February and was replaced by Chiyu on bass. Their first release was "7th Breeze" on the compilation album Cannonball Vol. 03. The band signed to the visual-kei label PS Company and in August released their first single, "Scheat".
Sug have recently released an EP entitled Love Scream Party. To promote their music outside of Japan, Sug performed at "J-Rock Invasion" in Germany alongside Kagrra, Kra, Alice Nine and Screw who are also signed to CLJ Records, a German label.
Mitsuru left Sug after their live on 9 May 2009. It is supposed that Mitsuru left citing creative differences to the remaining band members.
They now have included their support drummer Shinpei as a full time member
Following the announcement of the new single Gr8 Story SuG has announced their move into Major Label PS Company. Gr8 Story will be released through Pony Canyon. The band is currently in their early twenties.

The name "Sug" is derived from the transliteration of the English word "thug", written in Japanese as Sagu (サグ?). The name is then simplified to the slightly more romantic "Sug".
