Puddle of Mudd came out of Kansas City, Missouri, and hit the new decade with post-grunge built to rattle a rock-radio dial: fat, sludgy guitars, a slow-burn verse and a chorus that lands like a dropped amp. Wes Scantlin sings lead, and he is the one member who has stuck with the band through every lineup it has had.

Their early EP, Stuck, from 1994, carried "Drift and Die", a brooding crawl of a song. But the real story starts with Come Clean in 2001, their second album, and "Blurry", an ache of a single that climbed to number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and became the song they will always be known for. "Control" snarled, "She Hates Me" sneered, and the album had sold more than 5 million copies by 2003.

Life on Display followed in 2003 with the moodier "Away From Me" and "Heel Over Head", and Famous came along in 2007 with its own title-track swagger and "Psycho". Scantlin has kept the name going ever since, through six albums after Come Clean, the latest of them Kiss the Machine in 2025.
