	'''The Methadones''' ~~are~~ a pop-punk band led by [[Dan Schafer]] (also known as "Danny Vapid") 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'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's first LP, '''Ill At Ease'''. The band'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's 2nd album, '''Career Objective''' (although drummer Matt Drastic plays on that release). In May of 2007, after the recording but prior to the release of '''This Won't Hurt...''', guitarist Ken Fused (ex-Battalion of Saints) joined the group, leaving Dan to concentrate solely on vocals. However, Ken'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.

In May of 2007, after the recording but prior to the release of '''This Won't Hurt...''', guitarist Ken Fused (ex-Battalion of Saints) joined the group, leaving Dan to concentrate solely on vocals. However, Ken's stint with the band was short-lived and the band returned to being a 4-piece, with Dan resuming both guitar and vocal duties. The band split in 2010, citing the members' diminishing interest in the Methadones and participation in other projects. Schafer would go on to form [[Dan Vapid and The Cheats]] with Byrne.
