They had an iTunes single of the week, that’s how I found them!

2 hit wonder. Had a song on the Van Wilder soundtrack that was a little hard to escape on alternative radio stations (before streaming services, we listened to the radio...the way back times.) Followed up with an attempt to break through with their next hit Memory but they never had enough individuality to set them aside from the giant pack of pop punk/ emo/ alternative rock bands that were popping up at that time. I liked them enough, but they were never destined to be a huge band.

I just listened to this song, I don’t understand the hype behind it. Denzel carried the song imo.

Stuck in America, anyone?

Memory was in burnout 3? Maybe revenge? Maybe takedown? One of those. That’s probably my initial exposure.

12 year old me and my friends loved them. We were heavy into pop punk and used to jam out to Start Static all the time. It’s hard to say how popular they were universally because the internet was just popping off at the time. I know they had a couple videos on Mtv at the time. 🤷‍♀️ Ahhh, simpler times.

For as big as they weren't, I'll always have a soft spot because they were incredibly friendly. I went to radio music fest where every band had a time slot at the autograph tent. Their timeslot happened to be during a headliner so there was no one in their line. I was an awkward 13 yearold with a bowl cut and they sent out of their way to make a good impression on a fan. I'd never listen to them anymore but I'm certainly never going to bash them

I’ve only heard of them because I did IT for a school district around this time and used to delete mp3s from our file servers all the time. It was on the list of bands that I collected the metadata on to help me find stuff they tried to bury.

I loved them. I graduated highschool in 05, so thanks for making me feel old.

But yea, stellar band, and the few times I met them they were always super cool dudes.

I have never heard of them, so not huge.

Early 00s pop-punk one hit wonders. I was really into that stuff at the time and definitely remember them.

Floyd is a famous boxer. Armani is a hip hop artist.

Reading comprehension is hard.

Well, considering they don't already know who the person is, they probably only care enough to post a short and easy comment on here and await a reply.

Just because you happen to know who it is doesn't require you to be an ass about it.

I love "Hate Every Beautiful Day"

Who?

Not very relevant, but I listened to them in high school. I believe they had some songs in major motion pictures, like (a true classic now) Van Wilder!

Side note, Van Wilder was based off Bert Kreischer! I enjoy him, but women may not! He has a movie coming out this year! I recommend you watch The Machine!

Mom and daddy got the best cocaine!!!

I went to college in Santa Barbara from 99-02 and was also really into the skatepunk scene all through high school. I knew of them mainly cause they were local to SB, opening for other bands from the genre/scene touring through. They had a following in town, but beyond that it seemed like they were pretty unknown outside of Southern California.

Bands like them really benefited from fests like Warped Tour in those days. I remember being slightly surprised when I lived in FL a few years after leaving SB and friends out there had heard of them.

Going by the venues available at Setlist.fm, they were big enough to headline House of Blues-sized venues, but when they opened for Green Day, they were the opener that warmed the crowd for New Found Glory. They didn't really break into the mainstream, but had a better run than most.

gen xer here - same, never heard of them.

Entry level, a couple soundtrack songs but never “popular”.

I graduated in 03 and have always been a huge music fan across many genres and I have never listened to this band.

They weren’t overly popular, just some alternative station fodder.

Reddit weird man, 90 percent of the thread doesn't even know who these people are. The one comment that's constructive and on topic gets down voted.
