Puddle of Mud Music History

Turn the mud into gold! 🤘 We're looking back at the origins and rise of the rock band @puddleofmudd.

Forming in the early 90s, Puddle of Mudd built a following with their grungy post-grunge sound. But it wasn't until their 2000 major label debut "Come Clean" that they hit the big time with radio smashes like "Control" and "Blurry."

Frontman Wes Scantlin's rough vocals, infectious melodies, and hooks struck a chord with fans. Despite early struggles and lineup changes, the band released more popular albums.

Though they took some time off when Scantlin had issues with substance abuse, Puddle of Mudd made a comeback in 2014, more ready to rock than ever, they continue touring and making music for their dedicated fanbase today.

Puddle of Mudd's gritty, emotional songs helped them stand out in the early 2000s rock scene. This is one band that turned the muck of the underground into a multi-platinum success! 🤩
