About this album
Where they were
Released on September 21, 2004, 'Noise from the Basement' is Skye Sweetnam's debut album after transitioning from a child artist to a pop-punk figure. At this point in her career, she was aiming to establish herself as a serious musician, stepping away from earlier work that focused more on bubblegum pop aesthetics.
Why it matters
'Noise from the Basement' received positive reviews for its infectious energy and helped define the mid-2000s pop-punk sound. The album's lead single, 'Tangled Up in Me,' became a commercial success, charting on Billboard's Hot 100 and solidifying Sweetnam's position within the genre.
Essential tracks
