"Sugarcoat began as an idea Brodie presented to the group. Being a connoisseur of funk and hard rock, he often ponders "what if we took the funk stylings of Stevie Wonder and put it into a harder and faster setting like that of Guns N' Roses?" And with that thought, a song like Sugarcoat is born.
Lyrically this is a song about having a sunny disposition in the face adversity. Instrumentally, this song is an all-out rock 'n' roll assault. With constant bending of time signatures and guitar solos spawning multiple keys, this tune proves to be a force to be reckoned with" - Nectarous
