About Wheatus
Wheatus is a pop punk band from Northport, NY, formed in 1995.
Wheatus formed in Northport, Long Island, in 1995, led by singer, guitarist and songwriter Brendan B. Brown. The 2000 self-titled debut carried "Teenage Dirtbag", which appeared in the film Loser and was a major hit in the UK and Australia. The same album included a cover of Erasure's "A Little Respect".
After parting ways with their major label, Wheatus put out later albums such as Hand of Man, TooSoonMonsoon and The Valley independently. The music stays in power-pop and pop-punk territory, built on Brown's high, cracking vocal and crunchy acoustic-backed guitars.
