Puddle of Mudd is an American post-grunge band from Kansas City, Missouri. The band has sold over 7 million albums and has string of number one mainstream rock singles in the U.S. Their major label debut 'Come Clean' has sold over five million copies.

Ask Puddle of Mudd frontman Wes Scantlin about the writing and recording of the album 'Volume 4: Songs in the Key of Love & Hate', and he responds with the same spirit of carefree wanderlust that defines his band: "It's all easy peezy, dude. No big deal at all…."

Not to him, maybe. Wes Scantlin is custom-made for the new millennium - a rockstar without the pretense and a frontman whose spontaneity propels his offstage personality as much as it does his onstage delivery. "Wes is constantly adjusting to the vibe in the room, throwing his flavor in there and constantly trying to make people laugh," explains bassist Doug Ardito. "He doesn't do the David Lee Roth thing, where he delivers the same lines every night. He's completely off-the-cuff."
