PUDDLE OF MUDD Announces New Album ‘Kiss The Machine’

PUDDLE OF MUDD is set to release their new album, Kiss The Machine, on May 2 through Pavement Entertainment. The album’s lead single, “Beautimous,” is out now and streaming on all major digital platforms.

Fans can also pre-order a limited edition Kiss The Machine CD/t-shirt bundle, which includes a signed postcard from frontman Wes Scantlin.

“There’s a lot of blood, sweat, and tears in this record,” Wes said. “We wanted to mix and match different styles together, have fun, and just create something fresh. It’s all about pushing boundaries and breaking out of the same old vibe.”

Kiss The Machine reflects the raw energy and personal journey of Scantlin, who was fully immersed in every aspect of its creation.

“This album was a moment of clarity — me looking in the mirror,” he says. “I was there night after night in the studio, learning, recording, pushing myself, and making sure every part of it felt authentic. I’m super proud of how it all came together.”

Kiss The Machine is a testament to resilience and creative freedom.

“I just want people to feel something — to smile, and have some hope in their hearts,” Scantlin adds. “Music has the power to heal, and if these songs help someone through a tough time, that means everything to me. That’s what this album is all about.”
