Puddle Of Mudd just announced their new album, ‘Kiss The Machine’, and shared the lead single, ‘Beautimous’! Is it just me, or does it sound A LOT like Stone Temple Pilots (until the chorus)?!
You hear it, right?
If you’ve kept up, you’ll know that the album comes amid singer Wes Scantlin’s ongoing legal issues. He was arrested in California last month and charged with domestic violence and drug possession after an alleged domestic dispute with his partner.
The new Puddle of Mudd album is the band’s seventh and arrives May 2. You can pre-order/pre-save here!
Talking about the new album, Wes said, “This album was a moment of clarity – me looking in the mirror. I was there night after night in the studio, learning, recording, pushing myself, and making sure every part of it felt authentic. I’m super proud of how it all came together.”
Scantlin added, “I just want people to feel something – to smile, and have some hope in their hearts. Music has the power to heal, and if these songs help someone through a tough time, that means everything to me. That’s what this album is all about.”
‘Kiss The Machine’ tracklist:
- ‘Beautimous’
- ‘Free’
- ‘In Love With A Dancer’
- ‘Back Against The Wall’
- ‘Firefly’
- ‘Maniac’
- ‘Baby You Da Best’
- ‘Everything’
- ‘Win Win Win’
As a big fan of the band, it’s great to see Wes Scantlin putting his head down and banging out new music during a turbulent time in his life. Let’s move past the arrests and hopefully find peace and focus on the music. #TeamWes
