Sully was a Canadian indie pop group, formed in 1994 in Ottawa, Ontario.[1] The original lineup featured of vocalist Becke Gainforth, guitarists Scott Strachan and Glenn Toddun, bassist Kelly Wren and drummer Ian Duke, the band initially pursued a style reminiscent of My Bloody Valentine, blending densely layered, hard-edged shoegazer rock with ethereal vocals in the style of the Cocteau Twins.[1]
The band released a self-titled album independently in 1995, and followed up with I Have Much to Report on Toronto-based independent label Random Sound in 1997. They then signed to Nettwerk Records, which reissued I Have Much to Report in 1998[2] and included a remixed version of the single "Otherd" on its Plastic Compilation, Vol. 1.[3]
They were dropped from Nettwerk in 2000, following which Toddun and Wren left the band.[4] The remaining members added keyboardist Dan McCormick and bassist Paul Prince, and released their third album Bright Lights in 2001.[5] The new album incorporated more traditional song structures, and mixed Gainforth's vocals higher so that the lyrics could be more easily understood.[6]
A fourth album was planned and announced, but has never been released.
