Sugar Crash is a acoustic rock band from Skaneateles, New York formed in April 2008. The band consists of John Buterbaugh (guitar, vocals), Sean Cooper (guitar, vocals), Mitch Lucas (bass, keyboards), Shiva Sharma (drums), and Dan Lemp (viola/vocals). They cover music ranging from The Beatles to Oasis and write originals that feature on their first album Silent Majority.

Background
This band started as a fusion between John Buterbaugh of Young Halogen, Colin Wentworth and Shiva Sharma of Knee Deep in Corpses, and Sean Cooper and Mitch Lucas of solo acts. The band was formed on April 4, 2008. John saw Colin's band on My Band called Knee Deep in Corpses and John was interested because his band was on hiatus. As soon as Sean Cooper was mentioned as a member of the band, John officially dissolved Young Halogen and joined this new group. John lobbied to change the name of the group from Knee Deep in Corpses to its current name Sugar Crash. Mitch Lucas was recruited for his ability to play guitar, keyboards, and ukelele. The band was not a stranger to realignment. Shiva Sharma quit the band so he could focus on his other band Framing Chris. Colin Wentworth was removed from the band because he did not sing when asked. At the same time as Colin's departure, Jake Simmons was added to the band for his multi-instrumental abilities in guitar, bass, drums, mandolin, and piano. Mitch left the band to become the manager; Nick Simmons took his place but left shortly thereafter. With the departure of Sean Cooper, a vetting process took effect regarding the positions of bass and drums. During this vetting process, however, the band lost contact with Jake Simmons. Mitch Lucas was asked to be bassist/keyboardist as well as be manager.

Silent Majority (2008-)
The band's freshman album, Silent Majority, exists mainly as a digital album available through their ReverbNation account. Most of the songs are attributed to Buterbaugh/Cooper although a great deal of the songs were recorded by John alone.
