WHEATUS

Teenage years may be fleeting, but it seems ‘Teenage Dirtbag’ is for life, as Wheatus’

debut single popped up yet again in 2022, making itself known in a way never seen

before in the form of a TikTok trend. The “Teenage Dirtbag photos” trend has now been

embraced by nearly a million people, including celebrities such as Madonna, Lady

Gaga, Mark Ruffalo, Lil Nas X, Jon Bon Jovi, Chevy Chase, and countless others,

resulting in the hashtag #teenagedirtbag being viewed over 2 billion times worldwide.

So it’s been a busy couple of years for Wheatus. They continue to spend as much time

as possible on the road, both for headline shows and as a support act (most recently

with Everclear, Hoobastank & Living Colour on the Summerland 2021 tour) across North

America. Wheatus have also made a triumphant return to festival stages, playing high

profile events like Audacy Beach Fest, where they performed alongside Muse, Jack

White, The 1975 and Machine Gun Kelly, just to name a few. While managing the

sudden influx of attention and press, the independent six-piece band have been

continuing their ongoing project of re-releasing their debut album (in a twenty-song

expanded edition featuring “lost” songs from throughout the years), creating content for

their endlessly loyal fanbase on Patreon, and getting ready for whatever the future

throws at them next.

To date, the eclectic rock outfit has now released six studio albums, two live albums,

and multiple additional singles.
