'''Wheatus''' is an American rock band from [[Northport, New York]], formed in 1995. They are known principally for their 2000 single, "[[Teenage Dirtbag]]". They also experienced success with their 2001 cover version of [[Erasure (duo)|Erasure]]'s "[[A Little Respect#Wheatus version|A Little Respect]]", and their [[Wheatus (album)|self-titled album]] was [[certified platinum]] in the United Kingdom.

==History==
===1995–2002: Formation and ''Wheatus''===
{{More citations needed|section|date=May 2024}}

Wheatus was formed by Brendan Bernard Brown<ref>{{Cite web |last=American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers |title=BMX Bandits |url=https://www.ascap.com/repertory#/ace/search/workID/321669656 |access-date=January 27, 2025 |website=ASCAP Repertory}}</ref> in 1995, who plays guitar and sings, on the [[Lower East Side]] of New York City.<ref name="Ruhlmann">{{cite web  | url={{AllMusic| class=artist| id=p437024| pure_url=yes}}| title=Biography: Wheatus| last=Ruhlmann| first=William| publisher=[[AllMusic]]| access-date=July 1, 2010}}</ref> Brown began by writing a few songs and subsequently enlisted his brother Peter on drums, Rich Liegey on bass and backing vocals, and Philip A. Jimenez on various percussion instruments, keyboards, harmonica, samples, and special effects. The band derives its name from the nickname "wedus" given to the Brown brothers by their father when they were children.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.amiright.com/names/origins/w.shtml |title=Band Name Origins -> W |access-date=September 6, 2015}}</ref> In 1999, they hired New York producer Ray Maiello, who booked them at New York's [[Luna Lounge]] for regular appearances. Maiello distributed the group's self-produced debut album to major record labels, including [[Artists and repertoire|A&R]] executive Kevin Patrick from [[Columbia Records]]. Maiello then arranged for Patrick to see the band play at the [[Mercury Lounge]], and Patrick subsequently signed Wheatus to a multi-album deal, with Maiello as the band's manager. Their self-titled debut album was released on August 15, 2000, and spawned their first and most successful hit, "Teenage Dirtbag", which charted at No. 1 in Australia and No. 2 in the United Kingdom. Their second single, a cover of [[Erasure (duo)|Erasure]]'s "[[A Little Respect]]", peaked at No. 3 on the [[UK Singles Chart]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nme.com/news/wheatus/8428 |title=Jolly Roger! &#124; News |publisher=Nme.Com |date=July 3, 2001 |access-date=April 29, 2012}}</ref> The third single from the album, a double A-side of "Leroy" and "Wannabe Gangstar", was less successful, reaching No. 23 on the UK Singles Chart. Another song from the album, "Punk Ass Bitch", was bought by the creators of ''[[Jackie Chan Adventures]]'' and reworked as "Chan's the Man", the end credits theme for the program's first season.<ref>{{Cite web |date=July 21, 2025 |title=Nerds, Guitars, and Teenage Dirtbags |url=https://loadedworld.com/blogs/home-page-top-features/nerds-guitars-and-teenage-dirtbags-the-glorious-oddity-of-nbsp-wheatus |access-date=November 6, 2025 |website=Loaded Magazine}}</ref>

===2002–2005: ''Hand Over Your Loved Ones'' and ''Suck Fony''===
{{Unreferenced section|date=May 2024}}

Wheatus began work on their second album in 2002, with Brendan enlisting his sister Liz and the band's merchandiser, Kathryn Froggatt, as backing vocalists. Shannon Harris of [[Relish (band)|Relish]], a group who had supported Wheatus on their earlier tours, was also added to the band as keyboardist. When the album, ''[[Hand Over Your Loved Ones]]'', was released in 2003, it received little promotion in the UK and was not issued in the US. In October 2004, the band decided to leave their record label and form their own, Montauk Mantis. During this time, they enlisted Michael Bellar as a replacement for Harris. In February 2005, Wheatus re-released ''Hand Over Your Loved Ones'' under the new title ''[[Suck Fony]]''. It included the new tracks "William McGovern" and a cover of [[Pat Benatar]]'s "[[Hit Me with Your Best Shot]]".

===2005–2007: Lineup changes and ''Too Soon Monsoon''===
{{More citations needed|section|date=May 2024}}

Bassist Mike McCabe left the band in March 2005, shortly after the release of ''Suck Fony''; he was replaced by Nicolas diPierro. The band subsequently began recording a new album in April 2005, and three months later, the first single, "BMX Bandits", was released. In October 2005, the band's third studio album, ''[[Too Soon Monsoon]]'', was issued. Since early 2010, it has been available via a "[[pay what you want]]" donation scheme via the band's official website.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wheatus.com/main_index.html|title=Wheatus Official Website. Retrieved on March 3, 2010|access-date=January 18, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100309103408/http://www.wheatus.com/main_index.html|archive-date=March 9, 2010|url-status=dead}}</ref> Days after the release, Bellar left the band, and Gerard Hoffmann replaced him. A second single, "''The London Sun"'', was released in February 2006. diPierro departed the band and was replaced with bassist Matt Milligan. A further lineup change occurred in May 2006, when drummer Pete Brown quit music to get married.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wheatus.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=3666|title=bbbsays: Pete|work=Wheatus' official forum|first=Brendan|last=Brown|access-date=May 3, 2006|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070928172155/http://www.wheatus.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=3666|archive-date=September 28, 2007|url-status=dead}}</ref> He was replaced with Kevin Garcia, leaving Brendan Brown as the only remaining original member. The next lineup change occurred five days later, when Froggatt left the band due to pregnancy. She was replaced with Connie Renda, who in turn traded places with Missy Heselton. In February 2007, Wheatus joined the UK leg of the Get Happy Tour, along with founders [[Bowling for Soup]] and [[Army of Freshmen]] and British [[pop-punk]] band [[Son of Dork]], for a sold-out 13-show tour. Liz Brown and Missy Heselton both left the group around this time.

===2007–2012: ''Pop, Songs & Death''===
Wheatus began recording new material in October 2007. Its release was carried over until February 2008, when a video for the song "Real Girl" was uploaded to YouTube. In March, the band performed several shows in the US and also announced dates for an acoustic performance in the UK. In October, they completed a tour of the UK, during which some of the new material was showcased in acoustic form. In November, the band returned to the recording studio and set a release date for a six-track EP, entitled ''Pop, Songs & Death, Vol 1: The Lightning EP''. In early 2009, Brown composed music for ''[[April Showers (2009 film)|April Showers]]'', a film that deals with the [[Columbine High School massacre]]. On June 1, 2009, ''The Lightning EP'' was expected for release, but it was not available until June 2 due to a series of technical difficulties, including a server crash on the band's website. In January 2010, Wheatus began a worldwide theater tour, with dates spanning the US, UK, and Austria. They were supported by [[nerdcore]] rapper [[MC Frontalot]]. In April 2010, Brown announced via his Twitter page that ''Pop, Songs & Death, Vol. 2: The Jupiter EP'' was scheduled for release in May 2010.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/wheatus/status/11311747039|title=@ralasinchains gonna be May 1 almost finished w it.... ;- )|last=wheatus|date=March 30, 2010|access-date=January 18, 2018}}</ref> However, this was pushed back to December 23, 2010.

In November 2012, the EPs were released together as the band's fourth studio album, ''Pop, Songs and Death''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://blacktoprecords.weebly.com/catalogue.html|title=Catalogue|work=Blacktop Records}}</ref>

===2012–2014: ''The Valentine LP''===
Following a re-release of the single "Lemonade", supported by the first of three [[Lego]] videos created by Oliver Broadbent, Wheatus released their fifth studio album, ''The Valentine LP'', in 2013. Brown described it as a set of "post-apocalyptic love songs",<ref name=GPinterview>{{cite web|url=https://www.goldenplec.com/featured/brendan-b-brown-wheatus-interview/|title=Brendan B Brown of Wheatus – Interview – Feature|date=August 31, 2013|website=Goldenplec.com|access-date=May 2, 2019}}</ref> adding that he delved into the concept of "reconstituting society, fighting zombies, and trying to maintain some kind of romantic relationship at the same time".<ref name=GPinterview />

An album sampler was released on [[YouTube]] on July 27, 2013, while full tracks from the record were uploaded between August 14 and September 9.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/user/WheatusOfficial/videos|title=WheatusOfficial|publisher=[[YouTube]]|access-date=May 2, 2019}}</ref> ''The Valentine LP'' was released on August 2, 2013, through the band's website,<ref name=Pmagreview>{{cite web|url=https://www.previousmagazine.com/wheatus-the-valentine-lp-review|title=Wheatus – The Valentine LP Review|date=August 15, 2013|website=Previousmagazine.com|access-date=May 2, 2019}}</ref> with a vinyl version shipping in late 2013.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://wheatus.com/home|title=Wheatus|website=Wheatus.com|access-date=May 2, 2019}}</ref> The digital version of the album includes a [[PDF]] entitled "Valentine Comic", with concept art depicting a zombie apocalypse love story, designed by graphic artist Ecol (Eric Collins).<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://ecol-art.com/bio08.html |title=ecol art |access-date=May 15, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130825053728/http://ecol-art.com/bio08.html |archive-date=August 25, 2013 |url-status=dead }}</ref> In September and October 2013, the band toured the UK.<ref name=OYsleeve /> Prior to the tour, long-term drummer Kevin Garcia left and was replaced by William Tully.{{citation needed|date=May 2024}}

===2014–present: Sixth studio album, classic lineup reunion===
[[File:Brendan B. Brown.jpg|thumb|left|Brendan B. Brown performing with Wheatus at the Wonder Bar in Asbury Park, NJ, on March 21, 2025.]]

Since 2014, Wheatus has been in the process of recording a sixth studio album. Tentatively titled ''Beasts of the Unknown'', Brown has stated that the direction of the record will be "80's metal", inspired by the bands he grew up listening to as a teenager.<ref name=Bristolpost>{{cite web|url=http://www.bristolpost.co.uk/Wheatus-nostalgic-ahead-Thekla-gig/story-27823509-detail/story.html|title=Wheatus get nostalgic ahead of their Thekla gig|work=Bristol Post|author=Jones, Craig|date=September 18, 2015|access-date=May 9, 2016}}{{dead link|date=July 2019 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> The first track from the album, "Zelda", first appeared in the band's live setlist in late 2014. Recording was due to take place in late 2015, until plans for a tour celebrating the fifteenth anniversary of their debut album were announced. During this time, drummer William Tully left and Leo Freire replaced him. Joey Slater also replaced Karlie Bruce after she left for a second time. Wheatus then toured with [[Busted (band)|Busted]] on their ''Pigs Can Fly'' arena tour.

In late 2016, Brown stated in an interview, "Album [seven] is almost ready to be recorded, and we'll be working on that over the winter and hope to have that done by 2017". He also mentioned that twenty songs had been written for the release, and the band were aiming to record them all before the start of the year.<ref name=Bristolpost /> "Tipsy" was released as the album's lead single on December 22, 2016. After announcing a further UK tour for April and May 2017, Brown stated that recording had again halted. During this time, keyboardist Mark Palmer left the band, with Brandon Ticer brought in as his replacement. Karlie Bruce returned on backing vocals after a three-year absence, joining Gabrielle Sterbenz and Joey Slater. On June 8, 2018, "Lullaby" was released as the album's second single. A further new song, "Michelle", was first performed live in September 2018.

In November 2018, Wheatus returned to the UK to tour as a support act for [[A (band)|A]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.nme.com/news/music/wheatus-inme-heading-2002-af-uk-tour-hi-fi-serious-2337007|title=A, Wheatus and InMe are heading out on this 2002 AF UK tour|last=Andrew Trendell|date=June 11, 2018|website=NME|access-date=July 10, 2019}}</ref> In early 2019, the band provided direct support to [[Mike Doughty]] on the first leg of his twenty-fifth anniversary tour of [[Soul Coughing]]'s ''[[Ruby Vroom]]'', their first full US tour in many years.

In early 2019, Wheatus announced plans for their first world tour since 2000, playing in the US and South Africa as well as 48 dates across Germany, the Netherlands, and the UK. On April 5, 2019, they played a special show at the Mercury Lounge in New York, which featured two sets: one with the current lineup and one from the "classic" lineup, with Peter Brown, Mike McCabe, Phil Jimenez, Liz Brown, Kathryn Froggatt performing together for the first time since 2003.<ref name=Mercuryloungetwitter>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/MercuryLoungeNY/status/1109117546026942465|title=Twitter: Mercury Lounge|via=Twitter|author=Mercury Lounge|date=March 22, 2019|access-date=March 27, 2019}}</ref> During the Welsh dates of the band's world tour, Brown expressed support for [[Scottish independence|Scottish]] and [[Welsh independence]] from the UK, showing up at a "Yes" rally march.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.thenational.scot/news/17619095.youll-never-guess-which-us-rock-stars-showed-up-for-the-yes-march/|title=You'll never guess which US rock stars showed up for the Yes march|publisher=[[The National (Scotland)]]|date=May 4, 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://nation.cymru/news/new-york-rock-band-become-unlikely-welsh-independence-backers/|title=New York rock band become unlikely Welsh independence backers|date=May 12, 2019|publisher=Nation.Cymru}}</ref>
