Sugarcult

The Santa Barbara-based quartet began in the late 1990s and quickly established themselves on a regional level with their revved-up, power chord-driven punk. After getting signed in 2001, they began to preach their melodic buzzsaw style to the masses via some well-received slots on the Warped Tour. An appearance on the American Wedding soundtrack prepped the general public for their 2004 album, Palm Trees And Power Lines.
