Puddle of Mudd is american rock band from Kansas City, formed in 1991 by lead singer Wes Scantlin, guitarist Jimmy Allen, bass guitarist Sean Sammon and drummer Kenny Burkitt. Name of the band was inspired by practicing next to the Missouri river levee, which always inundated the band’s practice space, but never ruined their equipment since they were on the second floor. In order to get to their practice space, the band “had to walk through a pile of shit”. Through their 25 years long carrer they had released 6 studio albums – Abrasive (1997), Come Clean (2001), Life On Display (2003), Famous (2007), Volume 4: Songs in the Key of Love & Hate (2009) and Re:(disc)overed (2011).

The band currently play in line-up Wes Scantlin (vocals), Matt Fuller (guitar), Michael John Adams (bass guitar) and Dave Moreno (drums). Their well known singles, which they will present also at Topfest, are She Hates Me and Blury.

Alongside Puddle of Mudd, audience on Topfest 2016 can expect performances of England’s punk band UK Subs, Czech rock stars – Kabát, Chinaski and Wanastovi Vjeci, and of course best Slovak artists like INEKAFE, Horkyze Slize, The Paranoid and many others.
