Puddle of Mudd is an American post-grunge band from Kansas City, Missouri, United States.

Puddle of Mudd was formed in 1993 by Wes Scantlin (vocals), Kenny Burkett (drums), Jimmy Allen (lead guitar), and Sean Samon (bass guitar). The name was inspired by the Missouri River flood, which inundated the band's practice space, and left the floor a big "puddle of mudd" (sic). The group's first album, 'Stuck', was released in 1994 on V&R Records. The seven-song album, of entirely original compositions, was produced by PoM and E.J. Rose, and recorded at Red House Studio in Lawrence, Kansas. The album did well in Kansas City, but never made it much further.

Minus Jimmy Allen, the group released a second album, 'Abrasive', in 1997 on Hardknocks Records. It had eleven tracks, all written by the band, three of which would eventually make it on to Puddle of Mudd's first major label release.

Scantlin's start in the music business came after a copy of his demo tape was delivered to Fred Durst....
