Start Static, the debut album from Santa Barbara's Sugarcult, came out on August 21, 2001, with Matt Wallace producing, and it's the record that broke the band into the mainstream. Tim Pagnotta sings and plays rhythm guitar, Marko DeSantis handles lead guitar, Airin Older plays bass, and it's the only Sugarcult album with original drummer Ben Davis.
This is pop-punk with the sugar right there in the name: buzzing, bright guitars, sing-along choruses and a smart-aleck grin. "Stuck in America", "Bouncing Off the Walls" and "Pretty Girl (The Way)" were the hits, reviews were mostly warm, and while it never cracked the Billboard 200, it did real business on independent and genre charts, especially in the UK.
