Editor's Review:

High school girls throw themselves at boys like this nowadays. You can hear the thriving rock star dream in the voices of the poppy punk quartet, Sugarcult. Bouncy beats and fierce, but not too serious, guitar rifts back up the spunky voice of Tim Pagnotta. The lyrics are standard for this sort of Blink-182 music and include such groundbreaking lyrics such as "...all the holidays suck / by myself cuz I'm fucked / and I'm dying, dying, dying / so how does it feel / cuz it's tearing me apart..." Sooo dramatic. Sugarcult produces good melodies, and have the talent, but they are hard to distinguish from the rest of the MTV hits that grace TRL everyday.

Sugarcult

Bio[+]

With catchy choruses, amped performances and a shamelessly poppy approach to punk rock, Santa Barbara’s Sugarcult has been performing their aloof and bouncy music since forming in 1998. Vocalist / guitarist Tim Pagnotta apparently named the group after his neighbors; seven lesbians who referred to themselves as the ‘sugar cult.’ With bassist Airin Older and drummer Ben Davis providing harmonies and Marko 72 (expatriate of The Ataris, Swingin' Utters and Nerf herder) on guitar, the group has received national exposure through 2001’s Warped Tour, supporting bands such as Blink 182, Unwritten Law and Good Charlotte on national tours, and The Decibel Music Conference in Trinidad, West indies in May of 2001. Their Ultimatum debut, Start Static was released in August of 2001 and was produced by Matt Wallace.
