Sugar Ray is Back with Music For Cougars

It seems like a lot of '90s bands out there are hungry for a comeback, am I right? Well, here's another one to add to the ongoing list. Sugar Ray will release its first album in six years, Music For Cougars on July 21 followed by a 36-city tour across the U.S. Their first single, "Boardwalk" will hit airwaves sometime this month and is said to be a straight down the middle Sugar Ray song that embodies their breezy pop style that once sold them 12 million records. Frontman Mark McGrath told Billboard that Sugar Ray tried to reinvent themselves, but it just really didn't work for them. You've got to give it to the California boys for returning to the style they know best and though we won't see another "Fly" from them anytime soon, I think they're off to a good start.
