“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 demo-ing songs “in some crazy little apartment with an isolation booth in the middle of Hollywood”, Famous was recorded in Los Angeles and Colorado with former Black Flag drummer Bill Stevenson (Rise Against, MXPX etc.) producing.
