Архив новостей | Русская версия
PUDDLE OF MUDD has released the official music video for the song "Free". The track is taken from the band's latest album, "Kiss The Machine", which came out in May 2025 via Pavement Entertainment. The music video was directed by Vicente Cordero and filmed in Los Angeles.
"Free" takes on a deeply personal meaning for PUDDLE OF MUDD frontman Wes Scantlin. The song reflects his own struggles that he has contended with over the years. Essentially, "Free" is about severing ties with bad influences, whether it's people or vices, and surrounding yourself with the good.
Scantlin says: "Everybody goes through life with ups and downs, and you can find your way. Along the way, people come around and they're not your people. Accept the people who are trying to help you."
When times get especially tough, Scantlin finds help in a higher power. Scantlin says: "Look up to God, ask Him for help, and He'll take you somewhere better.
"I hope people hear their own story in 'Free' and take whatever they need from the song," he adds. "Keep your head up, improve, and remain awesome. God will guide you in the right direction. Get free. Stay free. Stay kind and be nice to each other."
PUDDLE OF MUDD was formed in 1991 in Kansas City by Scantlin, the only original member still with the band.
PUDDLE OF MUDD's most recent touring lineup saw Scantlin joined by returning bassist Michael Anthony Grajewski and new members Miles Schon — son of legendary JOURNEY guitarist Neal Schon — on lead guitar and Jon Smith on drums.
This past February, PUDDLE OF MUDD released the official music video for the band's latest single, "Rain", available now through LoudHit Records in partnership with Virgin Music Group.
