Puddle of Mudd:
With a career spanning over two decades, Puddle of Mudd has cemented themselves as a prominent force in the world of rock music. Formed in 1991, multi-platinum-selling rock band, Puddle of Mudd has sold over seven million albums worldwide and has had a string of chart-topping hits, including “Blurry,” "She Hates Me," “Psycho,” "Famous,” “Drift and Die,” and “Control.”
Puddle of Mudd’s lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist, Wes Scantlin, has been the driving force behind the band’s success since the band’s inception. With his distinctive vocals and
songwriting style, Scantlin has helped to define the band’s sound and create some of the most memorable rock hits of the past two decades.
Shortly after being discovered and signed by Limp Bizkit’s Fred Durst, Puddle of Mudd released their major-label debut album, Come Clean, on August 28, 2001. Come Clean
spawned the singles “Blurry,” “Control,” “Drift & Die” and “She Hates Me.” These hits propelled Puddle of Mudd to reach the number 5 slot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. This success led to the band venturing out on a full-scale European and American tour, hitting the road with Linkin Park, Stone Temple Pilots, and Staind. Come Clean reached triple platinum status in January of 2003. Puddle of Mudd's subsequent albums, Life on Display (2003), Famous (2007), and Vol. 4: Songs in the Key of Love and Hate (2009), solidified their place in the rock pantheon. The band also released an album of cover songs, entitled Re:(disc)overed, in 2011. Puddle of Mudd’s 2019 album release, Welcome To Galvania, was produced by Cameron
Webb (Alkaline Trio, Disturbed, Motorhead). “Uh Oh”, the first single off of Welcome To Galvania, reached the number 9 position on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart.
In September 2023, Puddle of Mudd unveiled their seventh studio album, Ubiquitous, showcasing a fresh take on their unique style. Puddle of Mudd’s new album, Kiss The Machine, was released on May 2, 2025 via Pavement Entertainment. With over two decades of rock history behind them, Puddle of Mudd’s
forthcoming release is a powerful reminder of their staying power and evolution. The airwaves are about to experience a heavy dose of Puddle of Mudd’s signature hard-hitting
sound once again.

cavo:
Nights and days slowly turn into months and years, but the passage of time doesn’t really seem to affect St. Louis rock band cavo. Even though the band has been together playing
music since the early 2000’s, cavo continues to show to this day that passion and persistence are what drives their sound. Prior to and during the Pandemic, Brian Smith (bass, vocals), Chris Hobbs (guitars, vocals), Andy Herrin (drums) and Casey Walker (lead vocals) decided to take their vault of unreleased songs recorded between 2008 and 2016, drawn from the Bright Nights Dark Days, Thick As Thieves, and Bridges sessions, and re-
imagined them. Since then, they’ve self-released those previously unused singles like “Wreck Me,” “What Does It Feel Like,” “Without You,” and “Wolves,” all of which earned national airplay on platforms like Spotify, Pandora, and Apple Music.
In 2023, cavo self-produced and released two new EPs: The Shakes, featuring original material including “Dizzy” and “Not Over You,” and Covers Vol. 1, which showcased the
band’s take on iconic rock tracks like “Drive” (The Cars) and “Bizarre Love Triangle” (New Order). These releases marked a re-energized chapter of the band, blending their signature
sound with fresh momentum on original material mixed with honoring some of the band’s favorite tunes from their record collections.
cavo is currently planning release a new EP of additional originals in late 2025–2026, featuring additional never-before-heard material from the vault, along with a second
release: Covers Vol. 2, a follow-up to the first Covers EP that dives deeper into the music that influenced the band’s identity.
In 2009, this four-piece rock outfit broke onto the scene with their major-label debut Bright Nights Dark Days, which delivered the hit singles “Champagne,” “Crash,” and “Let It Go.”
Since then, they’ve continued to evolve while staying true to who they are. “The great thing about the four of us in cavo is that we’ve always been fully committed to this band,” says
bassist Brian Smith. “Even if we haven’t been in the spotlight for a bit and we have other projects going on, our bond is as tight as ever.” Drummer Andy Herrin adds, “We’ve been sitting on a ton of previously unreleased stuff that Casey, Chris, Brian, and I truly love, so we thought it was time to start putting it out for our
fans to hear—and the response has been overwhelming.”
From unearthed tracks to reimagined classics and all-new energy, cavo continues to deliver heartfelt, hook-filled rock with power, purpose, and authenticity. As the years pass, their bond, and their music, is stronger than ever!
