&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;The Methadones&#039;&#039;&#039; are a pop-punk band led by [[Dan Schafer]] of [[Screeching Weasel]] and [[Sludgeworth]] fame.  Originally started as a side project by Vapid in [[1993]] which featured a revolving cast of musicians (although bassist Pete Mittler has been involved since the beginning), the Methadones came to be Dan&#039;s full-time band around [[2001]]. That year, he recruited bassist B-Face (ex-Queers/[[The Mopes]]) and drummer Dan Lumley (ex-Rattail Grenedier/Squirtgun/[[Screeching Weasel]]/[[The Riverdales]]/[[The Mopes]]) to record the band&#039;s first LP, &#039;&#039;&#039;Ill At Ease&#039;&#039;&#039;.  The band&#039;s current line up of Schafer, Mittler, guitarist Mike Byrne (ex-[[The Vindictives]])and drummer Mike Soucy came together by the time of the release of the group&#039;s 2nd album, &#039;&#039;&#039;Career Objective&#039;&#039;&#039; (although drummer Matt Drastic plays on that release).  In May of 2007, after the recording but prior to the release of &#039;&#039;&#039;This Won&#039;t Hurt...&#039;&#039;&#039;, guitarist Ken Fused (ex-Battalion of Saints) joined the group, leaving Dan to concentrate solely on vocals.  However, Ken&#039;s stint with the band was short-lived and the band is once again a 4-piece, with Dan resuming both guitar and vocal duties.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pete Mittler and Mike Soucy are also members of [[The Bomb]].&lt;br /&gt;
