Northport, New York NY, United States (1998 – present)
Wheatus is a rock band from Northport, New York formed by Brendan Brown (vocals, guitar) in 1998. After writing a few songs, Brown enlisted his brother Peter Brown (drums) and Rich Ligey (bass) to record a demo. In 1999 the band signed with Columbia Records and released their debut album, Wheatus, the following year. This album contained the bands first, and so far biggest, hit, 
Teenage Dirtbag (from the movie Loser).
For the bands second album, Hand Over Your Loved Ones, Shannon Harris (from Relish) joined on keyboards. Due to disagreements with the record label, mostly caused by Brendan Brown’s wish to self-produce the album, the album received little promotion and did not sell well.
Michael Bellar (keyboards) then joined the band and they re-released their second album (containing two new songs) on their own record label, Montauk Mantis, this time named Suck Fony. In 2005 they released their third studio album, TooSoonMonsoon, once again on their own label.
In 2005, both Mike McCabe (bass) and Michael Bellar (keyboards) left and were replaced by Nicolas diPierro and Gerard Hoffman. Then the following year, diPierro and Pete Brown left and were replaced by Matt Milligan (bass) and Kevin Garcia (drums).
Current lineup:
Brendan Brown (vocals)
Matt Milligan (bass)
Gerald Hoffman (keyboards)
Kevin Garcia (drums)
Johanna Cranitch (backing vocals)
Georgia Haege (backing vocals)

I have to say, the new EP has the worst drum production ever. Like, 1,000,000 production points lower than the lowest drum production quality you've heard elsewhere. Jesus.

Definitely not the most underrated band in the world. However, they ARE probably the band most unfairly linked to one single.

Wheatus is my 3rd favourite album ever and doesn't have 1 bad song on it...it's a shame their 2nd album did so badly because the re-release, Suck Fony, is actually very good.

How could you possibly call them a one hit wonder? Listen to the rest of their discography, they are perhaps the greatest band in existence in my opinion!
