One of the first base acts sign-language to Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst's label, Flawless Records, was the alt-metal quartet Puddle of Mudd -- consisting of Wesley Scantlin (guitar and vocals), Paul Phillips (guitar), Douglas Ardito (bass), and Greg Upchurch (drums). While their songs expectedly contain the passion of such contemporaries as Korn and Rage Against the Machine, Scantlin's representative at times is spookily similar to Nirvana's late, great frontman, Kurt Cobain, containing plain elements of traditional hard rock (unlike the other aforesaid band's preference for tap). August 2001 saw the release of their major-label debut, Get Clean (which was preceded by the independent release Abrasive), as they embarked on a European tour with Godsmack a month later, before touring the U.S. as part of the Family Values 2001 tour, alongside Stone Temple Pilots, Linkin Park, and Staind. The band later remained passably busy, cathartic Biography on Display in 2003 and Noted in 2007.
