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".
