I have no idea who they are and I listen to a lot of 00's bands. That being said, once I looked them up I knew a few songs, but they are not a name that I would consider "big".

That might be because I didn't listen to them too much and they never grew on me, but I was more of a Hoobstank, Limp Bizkit, System Of A Down, Korn, Yellowcard, etc so I don't know if I should know them better or not.

Listened to their lights out album a lot when i was in college, usually while gaming. My wife has always been into emo and has several of their songs on normal rotation.

I haven't thought about them since high school. I put them in some PowerPoint for class and another student liked the song. Not sure if they knew the band, but I definitely remember them. I don't think you would have seen them on MTV. Honestly, I'm not sure how I knew about them. Probably through the internet; Napster, Limeware, Kazaa, or maybe just MySpace.

Haha! no I wish I just really love music. Just wanted to know If they were seen the same way I see them If that makes sense. Thanks for the comment though. Gave me a good laugh.

I only know who they are because of Van Wilder, and I was a skater in the early 2000’s. I don’t think they were ever “big” as you put it..

Their mostly remembered for Memory nowadays, and the majority of people who remember it are the ones who played Burnout 3

Also Burnout Paradise.

Big isn’t a word I would use to describe them. If you were interested the skate punk scene, you were likely aware of them and may have enjoyed a song or two for a short period.

One of their members is also a member of a much, much better band called Bad Astronaut, though.

Bouncing of the Walls was a small hit. I saw them play in a 800 capacity venue in Amsterdam. They opened up for Alien Ant Farm and some street musician they picked up during the day. It was not sold out by far.

I think sugarcult was at their peak before the bands you mentioned. Just after barenaked ladies and chumbawamba.

Graduated 2004. Small enough that I totally forgot about them until this moment but big enough that I'm super excited you reminded me about them. Thank you!

I only discovered them in my twenties (born 1985) thanks to a boyfriend who loved them. I absolutely loved them and still listen now :)

I was there. Never heard of them.

If anyone here wasn't really a fan of their better-known pop punk stuff but is willing to give them another shot, I highly recommend their last album Lights Out. It's a well-written power pop album that completely flew under the radar.

An unfortunate thing that happens to some bands is that they have a certain sound that gets them written off entirely. Then when they evolve that sound for the better, nobody cares.

Idk if this means anything but my sister listened to them when I was pretty young so I heard them in her music, pretty girl is one of the first songs I remember listening to with her alongside stuff like my chemical romance -I’m not okay (before black parade), and like yellowcard- ocean avenue so probably circa 2004-2005. I wouldn’t say she was into any really obscure music either so I feel like they were played a decent amount around then if you were into that type of music.

I was heavy in the pop punk/emo scene in that area. They were good, had a few popular songs. Mostly toured as an opening act.

Pretty Girl was my favorite song for YEARS 🖤

I'm 40 and have never heard of them.

Who?

17 at 2000 and: "who?"
I gather from the comments that "Bouncing off the walls" was their one big hit? Just listened to it and I don't recall ever even hearing that.
So afaik mainstream airplay, little to literally none.

Ohh I remember them. My bff in high school (we graduated in ‘05 lol) was really into them. Not super popular tho.

I think they had a song on Van Wilder OST. That was around 2000/2001, so they would have been somewhat mainstream at that point. I wouldn’t say big, I’d say like 2nd Stage Warped Tour.

I was going through an old box of high school crap last year and found a signed shoe from someone in Sugarcult. I believe it was from a small club show they played in Central CA, but can’t be positive.

They were never huge, but anyone into the pop punk scene between 00-05 would likely know of them.

I think van wilder brought them some fame too since bouncing off the walls was featured in the movie

Not huge, but they did get Ryan Reynolds in one of their music videos. So… that’s something they can tell people.
