Palm Trees and Power Lines by Sugarcult

Palm Trees and Power Lines, Sugarcult's second studio album, came out on April 13, 2004 through Fearless and Artemis, the Santa Barbara band's follow-up to Start Static. New drummer Kenny Livingston had stepped in for Ben Davis, joining Tim Pagnotta on vocals and rhythm guitar, Marko DeSantis on lead guitar and Airin Older on bass, and they cut it in bursts between tours from March to September 2003 at Full Kilt and Third Stone Recording in North Hollywood, with Gavin MacKillop producing.
It's sunny, sticky pop-punk with a power-pop sheen, the kind that had people name-checking Blink-182, and "Memory" is the heart-on-sleeve single that led the charge, with "She's the Blade" following in August. Reviews were mixed, some admiring the songcraft and others finding it short on originality. The band barely stopped touring, running from Good Charlotte support slots in Japan and the UK all the way to the Warped Tour.
