SULO was an Australian rock band formed with Metal, Nu Metal and Punk influence in the late 1990s on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales.

Early Years (1999–2002)[]

Originally, the band had five members, all from the Kempsey area.

While still in school the band gained released several independent demo EP's.

In 2001 SULO appeared on the 6th volume of the Grow Your Own series released by Foghorn Records. During this time the band underwent several line up changes as well as touring the east coast of Australia more frequently.

By mid-2002 they relocated to Melbourne with only Jimmy, Ronojoy, Arlo and gaff remaining. Without a drummer the band commenced production of their EP Western Glare in Sydney while still maintaining a busy touring schedule, sharing the stage with the likes of Cog, The Butterfly Effect, The Hard-ons and The Sick Puppies.

Western Glare era (2003–2004)[]

2003 brought more change for the band, with the band rewriting most of the songs intended for Western Glare. Eventually the EP was recorded at Damien Gerards Sound Studio's with Michael Chapman drumming. The completion of Western Glare also saw the departure of Arlo along with Melbourne drummer Tim Shearman joining the band permanently.

Upon the completion of the EP and line up the band moved quickly to film the video clip for the song Sorry in Wagga Wagga. Immediately following this a mini tour of the east coast was announced to close out the year.

Tim continued playing with numerous Metal and Hardcore bands, most notably The Red Shore, , .

Jimmy and Ronojoy went on to form Art Punk band which toured briefly over 18 months. Jimmy left to join Screamo/post Hardcore band Bellevue soon after Ronojoy also joined.

Arlo began an electronic project .

In 2011 Gaff played bass both live and in the studio for Newcastle band The Vocal Lotion's debut EP A & L #1.
