06-25-09 Update - From Summerfest in Milwaukee, WI POM comments on the passing of Michael Jackson. Video by www.todaystmj4.com



4-22-09 UPDATE!!!



What's up everyone? Just wanted to let everyone know that we have started recording the new record. Due to all the shows we have throughout the next few months, we will be doing this one in segments. We are currently in Vancouver recording the first 3 songs with Brian Howes. Drums are scheduled to start today. We'll keep ya posted.

P.S. - We added some new shows, so check 'em out and we'll see ya there.







Updated 05-20-09 - Watch POM performing The Joker, Blurry, Psycho, and Drift & Die at MMRBQ in Camden, NJ - Thanks to Ilikephilly on YouTube.













Here's a rewind into some of the band's comments and the history behind Puddle's last disc Famous, which was released in 2007.

“It's about passion and writing music that connects with other people and somehow heals them. I really want to try to crawl under peoples' skin and at the same time make some kick-ass rock ‘n roll music,” says Puddle Of Mudd frontman Wesley Scantlin about his band's imminent third album, Famous.

After their 2001 debut, Come Clean, sold over 5 million copies and spawned no less than 4 radio hits (including “Blurry”, the most played song of 2002); and their gold-certified follow-up Life On Display, Puddle Of Mudd were able to step back a little to create Famous (scheduled for a July release).

“We had a lot of time to write and then make the record, as opposed to our second record where we were writing while we were recording,” explains bassist Douglas Ardito. “This time we had time to live life and have experiences to talk about.”

After demoing songs “in some crazy little apartment with an isolation booth in the middle of Hollywood”, Famous was recorded in Los Angeles and Colorado. Brian Howes (Hinder, Daughtry) co-wrote the first single “Famous,” which is currently rising up the Rock radio charts, with Wes and produced the track. Former Black Flag drummer Bill Stevenson (Rise Against, MXPX etc.), Jason Livermore (Rise Against, NOFX) and Jack Joseph Puig (John Mayer), along with Puddle Of Mudd all have producer credits on the album.

For all their platinum albums, awards and sold-out shows, Puddle Of Mudd have retained their organic approach to songwriting, usually starting with Wesley at home with an acoustic guitar. “If it sounds good and it makes your skin goose bump-up then you're probably onto something,” he mulls.

“Have you ever heard those lyrics by Nine Inch Nails: ‘I just made you up to hurt myself'?” he continues, laughing. “That's kinda how it is for songwriters I think: you almost create drama in your life just to get some good inspiration! Anything that irks you a little bit, for some weird and unknown reason, is good for really passionate songs. I write a lot of the stuff, but it's like a team – everybody's got their inspiration that they put into it.”

Famous once again displays Puddle Of Mudd's sixth sense for creating anthemic, songs that are at once optimistic and uneasy, uplifting yet contemplative, dramatic but never without humor. Wesley's voice retains its serrated charm but is more versatile than ever, able to shift a song's mood with sometimes unexpected inflections.

As ever, Puddle Of Mudd are single-minded in focusing on unpretentious songcraft and accessible lyrical authenticity over fashion's fickle demands or artsy affectations. “We're not using DJ turntables and synths and all that stuff,” Douglas confirms. “We're just trying to pull out the honesty and make another batch of great songs for people to listen to.”

The single Psycho earned Puddle of Mudd one of Billboard Magazine's highest honors in 2008, Number 1 Mainstream Rock Song of the Year, Number 4 Hot Modern Rock Song of the Year, as well as Mainstream Rock Number 2 Artist of 2008.

Radio and Records posted Psycho as the Number 1 Rock Song of 2008, Number 2 Active Rock Song of the Year, and POM earned their Number 3 status for Rock Artist of the Year.
