Puddle of Mudd is an American post-grunge band, or rather "nu-grunge", some
would say. The original incarnation of this band was formed in the mid-1990s
in Kansas City, Missouri. After this incarnation split up, a new version was
formed in Los Angeles by vocalist Wes Scantlin. Like many nu-grunge bands,
Puddle of Mudd is frequently accused of being a talentless derivative of the
famed Seattle grunge scene's legendary act, Nirvana. Nevertheless, the band
maintains a devoted following.
Wes Scantlin was born in St. Joseph, Missouri. Raised in Kansas City, he
attended Park Hill High School. He left after high school, and formed Puddle
of Mudd in Los Angeles. They are now famous for songs such as "Control", "She
Hates Me", and "Blurry".

The band was named after the band's old practice spot on the Missouri River
flooded leaving a puddle of mud in their practice area.
The band is signed to Fred Durst's record label, Flawless Records.
In 2005 two members, Paul Phillips and Greg Upchurch, left the band. Greg
currently drums for 3 Doors Down while Paul left citing creative and
personal differences.
Their song "Control" was the official theme song of WWE's Survivor Series
pay-per-view event in November 2001, and their song "Nothing Left to Lose"
was the official theme song of WWE's Royal Rumble pay-per-view event in
January 2004.
Their debut album, "Come Clean" spawned 4 hits and has sold 5 million albums
to date. Their follow up, "Life On Display" spawned 1 hit single and sold
600,000 albums.
The band is currently working on a new album that is slated for release in
2006. |
