History:
Vocalist Takeru and guitarists Masato and Yuji had previously performed
in a band called Travel. After Travel disbanded, they joined with
AmeriA's bassist, Shouta, to form Sug in October 2006. 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 [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] Cannonball Vol. 03.

Mitsuru left Sug after their live on May 9, 2009. It is supposed that
Mitsuru left citing creative differences to the remaining band members.
Their support drummer at the time, Shinpei, became a full-time member
of the band after Mitsuru's departure.
