They had fairly decent radio & mtv play for a year or 2 so they did better than a large chunk of pop punk bands. From a ‘main stream’ perspective At one point they were In The same breath of the 2nd tier of early aughts pop punk bands like sum41, new found glory, jimmy eat world and yellowcard but all those bands kept climbing and sugar cult stayed stagnant and (at least in my mind) remained in the crop of ‘1 hit wonder-ish” rock bands like unwritten law & red jump suit apparatus

Saw them at a radio fest show in 2002 on a killer lineup of: ok go, breaking Benjamin, sugarcult, NFG, and jimmy eat world headlining.

Met the singers of both sugarcult & NFG that night and they were both dicks.
