Tim met ex-drummer Ben Davis during a cigarette break at school. Ben (who then played bass) and Tim started to play together on a regular basis until Tim invited Airin Older, a fellow classmate, to join. Ben was moved to the position of drummer and Airin filled in for Ben on bass. Marko DeSantis was added into the band after meeting Tim back stage at a Superdrag concert. The pair apparently met because Tim was wearing a suit that resembled the one Marko wore to the show. Tim asked Marko to join the band before even hearing Marko play a single note on the guitar.
In the Summer of 2004, the critically acclaimed "Vans Warped Tour" featured Sugarcult, who were, in fact, the final band to play at the year's tour.
After the tour, the Band teamed up with Green Day, and New Found Glory on their tour of the US, and were a huge success.
In 2006, The EA Games title "Burnout 3: Takedown" featured the song "Memory" from the Album "Palm Trees and Power Lines" and was an instant success.
After years of touring and recording, Ben was asked to leave the band due to his extensive alcoholism. Ben has said he would rather be sober out of the band than drunk and still in the band. Kenny Livingston was drafted into the band after recording Palm Trees And Power Lines and touring with the band.

Do It Alone
Sugarcult Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can I say that there's something wrong with this place?
I got time just to waste if you would be my new escape
So then I say "Can't find a lover"
Well there's no other way of pulling me under
'Cause it's gotta be fate if we're under the covers
It's all gonna be a-ok, a-ok
I'm beggin' you
I don't want to do it, do it, do this all alone
We can dance in your bedroom with no romance
I got time just to waste if you would be my new escape
So then you say "there won't be another"
But you give it away cause you want to discover
That it's gotta be fate if we're under the covers
It's all gonna be a-ok, a-ok
I don't want to do it alone
I'm beggin' you
I don't want to do it alone
Tell you what
I don't want to do it alone
I'm beggin' you
I don't want to do it, do it, do this all
1, 2, 3, 4
4, 3, 2, 1
I don't want to do it alone
I'm beggin' you
I don't want to do it alone
I'm beggin' you [Repeat x 4]
I don't want to do it alone
I'm beggin you
I don't want to do it alone
Tell you what
I don't want to do it alone
I'm beggin you
I don't want to do it, do it, do this all alone
Can I say that there's something wrong with this place?
I got time just to waste if you would be my new escape
So then I say "Can't find a lover"
Well there's another way of pulling me under
'Cause it's gotta be fate if we're under the covers
It's all gonna be a-ok
It's all gonna be a-ok, a-ok
I don't want to do it alone.
The song "Do It Alone" by Sugarcult is a pop punk song about the desire to escape and not wanting to be alone. The opening line, "Hello, can I say that there's something wrong with this place?" sets the stage for the song's theme of wanting to leave and find a new escape. The singer pleads with someone to join them in their quest for companionship and adventure, saying they don't want to "do it alone," begging for someone to come along. The song is a plea for connection, whether romantic or not, and a desire to find a way out of their current situation.
The lyrics also touch on the fear of being alone, especially in a sexual or romantic context. The lines, "we can dance in your bedroom with no romance" suggest a desire for physical intimacy without the strings attached, yet the singer still pleads not to do it alone. The repetition of "it's all gonna be a-ok, a-ok" emphasizes the hopefulness and positivity that comes with finding a new escape and a companion to share it with.
Overall, "Do It Alone" is a catchy and upbeat song that speaks to the universal desire to connect with other people and not be alone in the world.

This song pops in my head every once in a while because of employee of the month. A banger, the song and the movie.
Paul Hoon
Same here, it's how I found the song. I still love it.
JDINCINERATOR
I can agree about the song but the film is quite questionable.
张耀辉
I' think I'm especially obsessed with this music style since it has both the faint feeling of sadness and the power, the rhythm of the rock music.
