The band’s debut, “Start Static”, was issued in the summer of that same year and generated three Modern Rock top 40 hit singles: “Stuck In America”, “Bouncing Off The Walls” and “Pretty Girl (The Way)”. Sugarcult done some dates with Blink-182 and national tours with Unwritten Law, Less Than Jake, Good Charlotte. Their debut record peaked at #6 on The Top Independent Albums chart and was later released in Europe.
