Wheatus is the debut studio album by American rock band Wheatus, released by Columbia Records on August 15, 2000. Written mostly by guitarist and vocalist Brendan B. Brown, it was recorded in the basement of Brown's mother's house, and self-produced by the band with the help of multiple mixing engineers and George Marino as mastering engineer.

Contents

In July 2000, "Teenage Dirtbag" was released as the album's first single, and peaked at number 7 on the Billboard Alternative Airplay Chart and number 2 on the UK Singles Chart. "A Little Respect", an Erasure cover, was released as the second single in July 2001. "Wannabe Gangstar"/"Leroy", a double A-side single, was released in January 2002 as the final single.

Background

Wheatus formed in 1995 after guitarist and vocalist Brendan B. Brown left the skate-pop band Mr. Jones to write his own material. [3] Brown brought in his younger brother, Peter, to play drums [4] and Rich Liegey to play bass. [5] Peter enjoyed the songs Brendan had written. [4] Multi-instrumentalist and engineer Phil A. Jimenez wanted to work with Brown after hearing "Teenage Dirtbag". [4] The following week, Jimenez was at band rehearsal, appreciating every song. [4] The energy "of the pop elements" in addition to "the story-telling and the social commentary" made Jimenez feel like he "really wanted to be a part of [the band]." [4]

Composition

All of the material on Wheatus was written by Brendan B. Brown, except for "Punk Ass Bitch", which was written by bassist Rich Liegey, [6] and their cover of Erasure's "A Little Respect", [2] which was written by Vince Clarke and Andy Bell. [6] The song titles came to Brown first with the subject matter following as he considered the name "an emotional blueprint". [4] Brown mentioned that the beat in "Teenage Dirtbag" was "sort of a hip-hop thing" and that the guitars "are definitely heavy metal". [7] Brown had the chorus melody and the "oh yeah" section before finishing the song's lyrics, it was "one of those once-in-a-lifetime melodies that works for every reason." [7] Brown claimed the song was autobiographical, however, none of the band members "wound up getting the girl in the end. So I guess that's the inspiration—the hope that that happens to someone someday." [7]

Talking about "Truffles" and "Wannabe Gangstar", Brown explained that when you're younger "You can't do anything [...]. You have no power; you have no resources. You're subject to everyone else's crap". [4] "Sunshine", the first song written for the album, was Brown realizing he was working for the wrong kind of people. [4] "Hump'Em N' Dump'Em" was written when the Senate was thinking of impeaching the president. [4] "Hey, Mr. Brown" was written after Brown was not being paid for something he had done. [4] "Love Is a Mutt from Hell" was about a dysfunctional romance. [8] "Wannabe Gangster" was inspired by "white, middle class glorification of inner city problems", according to Brown. [9]

Recording

Using the knowledge he gained from being in his former band, [4] Wheatus was recorded in the basement of Brown's mother's house. [4] A control room was set up in the dining room, with a one hundred-foot cable leading down to the basement. [4] Wheatus was produced and engineered by Wheatus and Philip A. Jimenez. [6] One of the reasons the band self-produced the album was their idea to take specific sounds from different genres and include them into songs. [7] Brown explained that "When you're a small band and nothing's going on for you, you can't explain to somebody bigger than you [...] what you want to do. They just won't care." [7] New York-based band Soul Coughing had a big influence on the production of the album. [10]

Despite the multitude of electric guitar tones, no electric guitars were used in the recording process. [11] The tones originate from Brown's acoustic Martin guitar, which is set up through two preamplifiers which are connected to their own power amplifiers. [11] Brown can swap between the preamplifiers with the aid of an expression pedal so that he is able to "swell into a distortion sound while fading out the clean tone". [11] Brown claimed he does not know "[that] many guitar players", thus he took three different guitar sounds that he enjoyed and merged them into his sound. [11] Jimenez provided percussion, harmonica and banjo. [4] David Thoener mixed almost all of the tracks apart from "Wannabe Gangstar", which was mixed by Brown, and "A Little Respect", which was mixed by Richard A. LaSalvia. [6] The album was mastered by George Marino at Sterling Sound in New York. [6]

Release

Wheatus was named artist of week at billboardtalentnet.com in February 2000. [12] In March, Wheatus signed to Columbia. [13] Liegey left the band prior to the release of Wheatus [2] and was replaced by Mike McCabe in July, [5] who left his job as a flight attendant to join the band. [14] "Teenage Dirtbag" was released as a single on July 18. [15] The music video, directed by Jeff Gordon, [16] was nominated for Best Video at the Kerrang! Awards. [17] The song was given extra promotion due to its inclusion on the soundtrack to the film Loser (2000). [12] According to an issue of Billboard dated July 2000 Wheatus was the most-download artist at billboardtalentnet.com. [12] In the same issue, it mentioned that the band's debut album was planned to be called Teenage Dirtbag and was set for release on August 1. [12] Instead, Wheatus was released through Columbia on August 15. [18] [nb 1] In September, the band toured the US. [20]

Wheatus toured the UK in April 2001. [21] "A Little Respect" was released as a single on July 2. [22] The music video, directed by Brendan Malloy, [23] is about how a boyfriend fails to impress his girlfriend until Wheatus stages a private concert for the pair. [24] It features Shawn Hatosy and Brittany Murphy. [24] Wheatus tour the UK again in November and December 2001. [25] A double A-side single of "Wannabe Gangstar" and "Leroy" was released on January 22, 2002. [26] The music video for "Wannabe Gangstar" was directed by Gordon, [27] while the video for "Leroy" was directed by Mark Hartley. [28] A remixed version of "Wannabe Ganstar" featuring Iron Maiden vocalist Bruce Dickinson was released earlier on January 7. [29] In March, Brown asked Shannon Harris to join the band as a keyboardist. [30] Tired of being a session musician, Harris accepted. [30] Harris moved to New York and lived with Brown. [30] The band toured the UK in June. [31]

[46] The band played the album in full in the UK in September and October [47] with support from Mike Doughty and The Hipstones. [46]
