Wheatus is an American pop punk Musical ensemble|group from Northport, New York. They are best known for their 2000 hit single "Teenage Dirtbag" which was also featured in the movie ''Loser (film)|Loser''. History Wheatus was formed by Brendan B. Brown in 1995. Brown wrote a few songs, enlisted the help of his brother Peter on drums and Rich Liegey on Bass guitar|bass (he was replaced by Mike McCabe after the release of their self-titled debut ''Wheatus (album)|Wheatus''). In 1999, they hired New York attorney Ray Maiello to shop their self produced debut album and signed with Kevin Patrick at Columbia Records; shortly thereafter, Maiello was hired as band manager. Wheatus' first and largest hit was "Teenage Dirtbag," which charted at #2 in the United Kingdom|UK. Their second single "A Little Respect" (an Erasure cover) also reached high chart positions, and was another top-3 hit for the band on the UK singles chart. Their third single, a double A-side of "Leroy" and "Wannabe Gangstar" (the single version of the latter featuring Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden), was recorded at Abbey Road in the famed studio 2 and was immediately at the center of a large dispute through which a SONY UK A and R representative named Ollie tried to turn them into a techno band like the Gorillas, because he liked the Gorillas.
