Introducing SugarComa as a nu-metal outfit would be wrong, although the band, in moments, sounds like it. Luckily, there is more — much more. Becoming Something Else is produced by metal star producer Colin Richardson (Machine Head, Carcass), who has a remarkable ear for the poppy and psychedelic rock side of the band. That makes SugarComa's debut a rather, ehhh, strange album. Not only because of the funny, up-tempo cover of Britney Spears' You Drive Me Crazy, but also because SugarComa is so enjoyable, thanks to is fine and often surprising mixture of different types of music. Mixtures you don't expect. Firmly rooted in metal, the three girls and one boy sometimes sound like Lush doing a Prong cover, or Alice In Chains with a metal guitarist and a female vocalist. When the non-metal influences become dominant, SugarComa is at their best. Like in the heavy-metal-wave of What Goes Around; and in Lost Orders, with its funky seventies rock slowly becoming more and more psychedelic till the sweet, drowning female vocals take over; or in the fine wavy metal of Shots that somehow reminds me of the forgotten American band the Wipers. SugarComa is metal in an old-school, indiewave kinda way. Becoming Something Else isn't always brilliant; nevertheless, it is an exciting album that clearly shows the potential that this young band has.
