Mumps was a prominent American rock band formed in 1973, best known for its unique fusion of glam rock, power pop, and punk. The band's distinctive sound was largely due to the theatrical vocal style of its frontman, Lance Loud, a popular personality from the PBS documentary series "An American Family". Despite never releasing a full-length album during their active years, Mumps' influence resonates in the punk and indie rock scenes for their bold, eclectic style. Their notable works include singles like "Rock & Roll This, Rock & Roll That" and "Crocodile Tears".
