episode 12: Wheatus (2012)
Teenage Dirtbag from Wheatus in 2022 is having a massive moment on TikTok with people like Madonna, The Pixies, Tara Reid, Drew Barrymore and everyday users of the platform using the tune to share moments of their youth.
This chat is from the archives, with Brendan of the band back from 2012 when Wheatus was about to tour Australia as part of Fat As Butter. They'd just released some internet recordings available through Blacktop Records.
We did not talk about the hit-song, there's a great doco on VICE about that.
Recently they've released Hey Mr.Brown 2020/Satan's Orders.
