Puddle of Mudd Drop Visual for 'Win Win Win'

Puddle of Mudd have officially unleashed the music video for "Win Win Win", a standout track from their latest studio effort, "Kiss The Machine". Released in May 2025 via Pavement Entertainment, the album serves as a showcase for frontman Wes Scantlin's commitment to sonic innovation and a fearless approach to the craft.

Scantlin has been vocal about the grit required to produce the record, noting that there was "a lot of blood, sweat, and tears" involved in the process. The goal was to move away from the "same old vibe" by mixing and matching different styles to create something fresh. For Scantlin, the recording process was a period of personal clarity and intense studio work to ensure every element felt authentic.

I just want people to feel something — to smile, and have some hope in their hearts.

While the band first hit the mainstream in 2001 with the success of "Come Clean", the current era of Puddle of Mudd reflects a journey of resilience. Scantlin, the sole remaining original member since the band's 1991 formation, has navigated significant personal hurdles, including a public battle with sobriety since 2017. He hopes the new material provides a sense of hope for the fans, stating that the ultimate goal is for the music to have the power to heal.
