CD permanently out of stock. Sorry!
acoustic rock with a conscience...a trio of amazing harmonies and catchy, fun melodies about heavy spiritual topics, namely God and our relationship with Him.

notes
Straight Up Green is a band that no longer exists. SUG played the local scene in Atlanta, GA from December of 1998 until the Spring of 2001. The band was Chip Houston (vocals, guitar), Rachel Bos (vocals, percussion) and Coley Mynatt (drums and percussion). The band was frequently accompanied by Jay Desai (congas) and Travis Barron (bass).
Each member has gone on to other successful projects, despite the decision to split. Chip Houston says, "It was amicable and I speak for each of us when I say that we have nothing but love and respect for one another. We all grew tremendously for our time together as SUG."
Houston has gone on to a successful solo career. He releases his first solo album entitled "Chasing the Dark" in September of 2003.
Mynatt has a successful recording studio and continues to play drums for local acts. His last project was with a band on the Indigo Girls' label, Daemon Records...Gerard McHugh and the Crafties.
Bos has also moved on to some exciting things with the long-established group One Tree Hill. Rachel continues to give audiences goosebumps with her amazing talent.
There are not many copies of the original SUG album left in the world. That makes it sort of a collector's item. Get in while you still can.
Gabriel/ March '2001
Venturing out on the local/underground Atlanta scene, this band is leaving intensely positive impressions on Christians and non-believers alike, as they wind their sound into an acoustical harmony of passion and soul. More than just an enjoyable sound, S.U.G. entices listeners with a spiritually-strong introspective force.

Hmmmm, sounds good to me.
author: The Music MakerThis CD is not bad for a freshman effort. The harmonies are the building block on most of the songs. The lyrics are well thought out and honest, providing lots of visual imagery. There are lots of small nuggets of musical surprise dispersed throughout this record. I heard things on the tenth listen that I didn't hear on the eighth or ninth.
