Wheatus

Wheatus is an act on the Starverb influence map. Their sound grew out of Son of Dork, Steve Harwell, Erasure, Alphabeat and MC Frontalot. Those roots explain a lot about how Wheatus arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Sugar Ray, American Hi-Fi, New Radicals, Everclear and Eve 6, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Soul Coughing, Busted, One Direction, MC Frontalot and Sega Bodega, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 34 connections around Wheatus, reaching back through Son of Dork and forward to Soul Coughing.
