Sugarcult came out of Santa Barbara, California, in 1998, playing the kind of pop-punk that grins through its heartbreak: Tim Pagnotta singing and playing rhythm guitar, Marko DeSantis on lead guitar, Airin Older on bass and Ben Davis on drums. Their 2001 debut, Start Static, on Fearless Records, is the one they're remembered for, a sugar-rush of buzzing guitars and shout-along choruses that packed in "Stuck in America", "Bouncing Off the Walls" and "Pretty Girl (The Way)".

In 2003 Davis left the band to seek treatment for alcoholism, and Kenny Livingston took over behind the kit. Palm Trees and Power Lines arrived in 2004, darker and moodier around the edges, with "Memory" giving them another radio favorite. Davis came back to the fold in 2011.
