Band History

Singer Wes Scantlin was born in St. Joseph, Missouri and grew up in Kansas City. He attended the Park Hill High School and founded after leaving school mid-1990 the band Puddle Of Mudd. After this original incarnation disbanded, Scantlin managed to pass a tape to the front man Fred Durst Limp Bizkit - Family Values ​​Tour '99 on a security man. This was inspired by the dynamics of the band and was planning to signets the plate unsigned band to his label Flawless Records. Since the band, however, up to Scantlin lacked all members, a new version in Los Angeles was formed by Scantlin with the assistance of the "discoverer " Fred Durst.

The band was known for songs such as Control, She hates me and Blurry. Initially they played in the U.S. as support also managed by Fred Durst bands like Staind and Cold or later with the Deftones and Godsmack. In Europe, it was first played as a support Linkin Park. Your Song Control was the official theme song of the WWE Survivor Series pay-per -view event in November 2001, and their song Nothing Left To Lose was the official theme song of WWE Royal Rumble pay-per -view events in January 2004. 2005 left two members, Paul Phillips and Greg Upchurch, the band.

However, both soon left the band again and Christian Stone ( guitar) and Ryan Yerdon (drums) took their positions.

On 24 July 2007 an EP called " Famous" was published by them, before the single " Famous " was released. This song was also the theme song from WWE One Night Stand 2007.

The song " Shook up the world " was a contribution to the support of the U.S. Olympic team for the Winter Games in Vancouver and Whistler in 2010, but the piece was completed too late to still time to get on the official soundtrack for the team. The song was released as a single and is available on iTunes, where it was also appended to a new version of the album.
