About Wheatus
It’s hard to believe it’s been over 20 years since Wheatus released their debut album and still ubiquitous single “Teenage Dirtbag.” Yes, that’s right – Dirtbag is no longer a teenager. In honor of this anniversary, Wheatus are releasing a new and expanded edition of their now classic debut album. Says Brendan B Brown, “We found demos of ten more songs from throughout the band’s history, that had such an album-one vibe that they never made it on to our more recent records. So now we’re giving them a proper chance to be heard. The twenty-song version of the album will feature the originally-conceived track listing and sequence, plus the extra ten songs that have finally found a home on a record.”
Pandemics notwithstanding, the band continues a seemingly endless tour cycle. 2019 took Wheatus on a coast-to-coast, almost entirely sold-out tour of America opening for (and then collaborating with) Mike Doughty on his Ruby Vroom 25th Anniversary shows. That tour culminated in a super-special sold-out hometown headline show where the “classic” line-up of Wheatus reunited for one night only – their first time on stage together in 18 years.

About Rematch
Rematch is a pop punk band hailing from the Windy City of Chicago. Formed in 2018, the band has been on a mission to bring driving guitar riffs, infectious melodies, and anthemic choruses that will get stuck in your head for days.
Shortly after a well received debut EP “Broken Steps”, the quintet headed overseas to record their second EP “Do It All Again” with Seb Barlow (Neck Deep, WSTR, Woes) in the Spring of 2019.
They would follow up in the fall of 2021 with the EP “UWU”. The band began hitting the road that fall touring with acts such as Driveways, Big Smile (Anchor 84), and Goalkeeper (Lost Music Collective)
The band took a break to record their most hook laden, yet personal songs to date with Sam Guiana (Silverstein, Neck Deep, Between You and Me) taking the reins in production. With some new songs ready to roll out, Rematch is looking to make their mark on the Pop Punk music scene in a big way.
