  • Essay / Sugarcult's Record Rundown - 1242

    Sugarcult's Record RundownThe band has been featured in dozens of television and movie soundtracks due to their innate ability to produce music that the masses can relate to. The Santa Barbara band will still be able to produce studio and live albums thanks to its strong worldwide following. Japan was particularly supportive of Sugarcult and, in turn, the band rewarded them with great music. No matter how many side projects Marko DeSantis gets involved in to showcase his countless facets of talent, he will continue to work with Sugarcult because no group can compete with the group. Eleven was Sugarcult's first attempt at songwriting. The Santa Barbara band wrote some of their purest music during their formative years. The album was released as a demo and then a reissue, which is not the case for most bands who start with a reissued demo like many other bands. "Debbie" and "We Come Crashing Down" were both selected to join Eleven. The alternative rock album featured songs such as "Make Up (Pretty Waste)" depicting a Barbie doll-type woman who covers up her persona with war paint. The album borrows songs from their album named Five which was not widely released. The song "I Changed My Name" describes a friend with the bogeyman in ballad form. Additionally, the phrase "And everyone turns tricks for fickle glory" describes why changing your name can parallel changing your band's name, as DeSantis mentioned when expanding on the fact that the band could change its name. name to each album. The '90s rock band took a turn with the soulful song "Underwear," showing that they have diversity beyond their widely known alternative punk vibe. Wrap Me Up In Plastic continued this vibe. Eleven started with power pop including...... middle of paper ... mostly because they are known for being the most welcoming country for a band. Many songs on the album abandon the traditional pop-punk tone and have an alternative vibe balancing the album in conjunction with the discography as a whole. Tim Pagnotta took advantage of the band's hiatus by writing for other musical artists. The songwriting that Sugarcult listeners have come to rely on continues to be as pure as the first songs were when the band formed in Santa Barbara, California. As Los Angeles continues to be a muse and not just a song, the band will evolve no matter where their journey takes them. The journey is enhanced with a multitude of songs that can be transformed from a studio recording to an acoustic set followed by a live version like “Memory”. You may not remember all of their hit songs, although you've definitely heard them on TV and in various hit movies..
