Wheatus was formed by Brendan B. Brown in 1998. Brown wrote a few songs, enlisted the help of his brother Peter on drums and Rich Liegey on bass (he was replaced by Mike McCabe after the release of their self-titled debut Wheatus). In 1999, they hired New York attorney Ray Maiello to shop their demo tape and signed with Kevin Patrick at Columbia Records; thereafter, Maiello managed the band briefly.
Wheatus’ first and largest hit was the single “Teenage Dirtbag,” which charted at #1 in the UK. Their second single “A Little Respect” (an Erasure cover) also reached high chart positions, and was another top-3 hit for the band on the UK singles chart. Their third single, a double A-side of “Leroy” and “Wannabe Gangstar” (the single version of the latter featuring Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden), didn’t perform as well.
When the band began work on their second album, Liz Brown (the sister of the brothers Brown) and Kathryn Froggat (Brendan Brown’s then-girlfriend, previously the band’s merchandiser) teamed up for backing vocals. Shannon Harris of Relish (who had supported Wheatus on their earlier tours) signed on as keyboardist, at the request of Brendan Brown.
Due to disagreements with their record label, primarily caused by Brendan Brown’s insistence on self-producing the album (as he had done with their debut), Wheatus’ second album, Hand Over Your Loved Ones, received little or no promotion and did not sell well, with the single “American in Amsterdam” also failing to significantly impact the music charts.

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!
