I don't try to understand this place 😅

I loved them in my early years of high school- had their CDs and saw them live at a small local punk rock venue. That was when I was listening to them Rooney, Something Corporate, Nada Surf etc etc

American Pie too! Those soundtracks can more or less show you what the kids were listening too at the time

I was born in 1971. Never heard of them.

Here's the LineUp to the Leeds Festival 2003, which can be seen as representative for that time:

Sugarcult played on Friday, on the main stage but as the very first band of the eight bands playing that day, followed by The Used, LostProphets, Good Charlotte, Primal Scream, Sum 41, System of a Down and Metallica. So "very low mid-tier" would be pretty accurate. 2001/2002 was their heyday in the US, with the touring in Europe 2003 still running on their debut album material, supporting the Europan release of the album, two years after its US release.

Absolutely love Start Static. Still listen to it to this day.

That was my favorite song for a long time due to that game.

I saw them supporting Blink 182 in the UK, if that’s any measure.

It was in Burnout 3: Takedown. That game had a banger soundtrack.

I had not heard anyone mention this band for a decade and a half until you posted this.

They had that song bouncing off the walls again and then they vanished.

I have no memory of the band. I read the wiki on them and had a chuckle to myself. Members of the band met backstage at a Superdrag show, and then formed Sugarcult. Same number of letters, and the words even look similar. here you go

Edit: unclear if they were already a band at that show, still get a chuckle from it.

Stuff that wasn't on the radio is better

"How's it feel"

I heard he can’t read, so maybe that’s the problem.

They had a couple of singles that got played on the alternative stations but never got that popular or well known.

Was a fan and saw them live. Believe me, there were dozens of us, Dozens!!!

Same, I was 13 in 05 and I’m like "who?!"

Fun fact: I designed and managed their MySpace page when I was a teen lol

How’s it feel to be a grade A moron?

who?

I was 16 in 2005. They weren’t on the level of blink 182 or sum 41 at the time but they had a following. They would do the warped tour circuit and all that but they didn’t get much radio play. I remember I liked a few of their songs in high school.

They opened for blink 182 when I saw them in the early 2000s. Hadn't heard of them before that though

I was a teenager in 05. Never heard of them
