Alternative-Metal Alternative-Rock band from Kansas City, Missouri USA,
the original line-up, formed in 1993 around singer+guitarist Wesley Reid
Scantlin.
A year later the band released their first album, the hard-to-find "Stuck";
during the second half of the '90s a revamped line-up, Paul James Phillips
on guitar, Douglas John Ardito who replaced former bassist Troy McCoy
and drummer Greg David Upchurch, started recording new material and in
1999 released the second independent album entitled "Abrasive".
Scantlin and Fred Durst negotiated a recording contract with the Limp
Bizkit frontman's own Flawless label, the year 2001 saw the release
of Puddle Of Mudd breakthrough full-length disc, "Come Clean",
this album exploded like a bomb crashing into the top 10 of The Billboard
Top 200 chart, the record spawned numerous hit singles, "Blurry"
became the most played track on Modern Rock Radio for 2002 and smashed
into the top 5 of The Billboard Hot 100; "Control", "Drift
And Die" and "She Hates Me" reached the top 3 of The Modern
Rock Tracks chart. Touring throughout the summer promoting the album's
release would see the band sharing stages with such Nu-Metal acts as Staind,
Cold, Godsmack
and Deftons.
Puddle Of Mudd returned two years later with "Life On Display"
which hit #20 on The Billboard 200 Albums chart, it included "Away
From Me" which rose to #1 on Mainstream Rock chart and to #5 on Modern
Rock Tracks chart; the second single, "Heel Over Head" cracked
the top 10 on both the same charts and "Spin You Around" climbed
into the top 20 of the Billboard's Active Rock list.
