Wheatus is an American rock band hailing from Northport, New York, that initially formed in 1995. The band is best known for their enduring hit single "Teenage Dirtbag," which became a cultural anthem after its release in 2000 and achieved massive popularity across the globe, especially when featured in the movie soundtrack for "Loser." The brains behind the group, lead vocalist and guitarist Brendan B. Brown, has been the constant driving force of Wheatus. Over the years, the lineup has seen numerous changes, but Brendan's vision and distinctive voice have remained at the core of Wheatus' sound.

Throughout their career, Wheatus has maintained a dedicated fan base and continued to release music, often with a nod to their early 2000s roots while exploring new musical terrains. Their more recent work, which includes an eclectic mix of new songs, remixes, and re-released classics with a modern twist, demonstrates the band's commitment to staying relevant and connected with their audience. Noteworthy among these releases are refreshed versions of fan favorites, such as "Teenage Dirtbag 2020" with a slowed and reverb treatment and “Leroy 2020”, showing the band's willingness to reinvigorate their music for the new generation. The band's quirky and creative spirit shines through in seasonal offerings like the "Just A Dirtbag Christmas EP," ensuring that Wheatus continues to earn a spot in both nostalgic playlists and contemporary music discussions.
