After a five year hiatus, Sugardrive frontman Paul E Flynn returns with his solo debut, 'Fields'.

After touring the band's last album, 'Love Etc…', Flynn, entered the studio with long time friend, and Springbok Nude Girls' guitarist, Theo Crous, to work on some new solo material. The result was 'Fields', an album consisting of eleven tracks more along the lines of artists such as Van Morrison, James and Morrissey than Sugardrive.

Says Flynn of the album: "The great thing about the band environment is the altruism and evolution of style that working with other musicians invariably leads to…but with my own material, it was more a case of: 'okay, what type of music do you want to make?' and it becomes clear that working solo for the first time has taken me back to my roots — it's a raggle-taggle celebration of the music I grew up listening to."

In the '90s Sugardrive was one of SA's best rock bands. By the time they reached their zenith, they were regular festival headliners, had recorded four albums (for which they garnered three SAMAs), supported Alanis Morissette on her South African tour and shared the stage in Australia with Coldplay, Queens Of The Stone Age and Placebo, amongst others.
