Puddle of Mudd are this kind of four-member rock band, anthemic and arena-capable (but alt-sensible) whose singer (Wes) bumrushed Fred Durst with a demo and soon after became the first act signed to the Limp Bizkit leader's new label, Flawless. Right.
You probably should know that by now, and if not, well, now you do.
