About Wheatus

Wheatus is an acclaimed American alternative rock, pop-punk, and power-pop band formed in Northport, New York, in 1995 by lead vocalist, guitarist, and chief songwriter Brendan B. Brown. The group achieved instant, worldwide legendary status with their landmark 2000 debut single 'Teenage Dirtbag', which became a monumental global anthem. 'Teenage Dirtbag' achieved multi-platinum certifications across the UK, Europe, Australia, and the US, maintaining an enduring viral cultural footprint across multiple generations (including millions of viral TikTok creator videos). Their self-titled debut album and subsequent releases such as 'Hand Over Your Loved Ones' (2003) and 'Too Soon Monsoon' (2005) featured beloved tracks like their spirited cover of Erasure's 'A Little Respect', 'Wannabe Gangstar', and 'Leroy'. Brown's signature high-register acoustic-rock vocal delivery, self-deprecating humor, and dynamic acoustic-grunge guitar arrangements have kept Wheatus actively touring globally for over two decades. For guitarists, 'Teenage Dirtbag' features one of the most iconic, recognizable, and enjoyable acoustic rock strumming and power-chord progressions (E - B - E - A) in modern rock history, making its chords and tabs a staple of every player's repertoire.
