Sugar by Tonic
Sugar is an album by Tonic, released in 1999. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 5 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “You Wanted More”, on 5 lists with a best position of #43.
Sugar, Tonic's second album, came out on Universal on November 9, 1999, three years after their platinum debut Lemon Parade, and this time the band produced it themselves. The songs were worked up in several places, Austin, Texas, among them, and the recording went down in a huge 15,000-square-foot mansion in New Orleans. Drummer Kevin Shepard was gone by then, so Dishwalla's Peter Maloney, their touring drummer, sat in behind Emerson Hart and bassist Dan Lavery.
It's big, polished post-grunge with a soft, melodic centre. "You Wanted More", which first turned up on the American Pie soundtrack, and "Knock Down Walls" were the singles, videos were shot for "You Wanted More" and "Mean to Me", and the band plugged it on Late Night with Conan O'Brien and The Martin Short Show.
