Mud is the name of many artists:

1. Mud was a British rock band, heavily influenced by 1950s rock and roll, but moving beyond it into mainstream rock.

The members were Les Gray, Rob Davis, Ray Stiles, and Dave Mount. They had fifteen hits in the U.K., including three number ones. More recently Rob Davis has written numerous successful songs for newer artists, including U.K. number ones for Kylie Minogue and Spiller.

2. MUD (Make U Dirty) is a Japanese rapper and producer from Machida, Tokyo, and a member of the hip-hop collective KANDYTOWN, active from 2012 to 2023 and he’s one of the few members who are outside from the Setagaya area. In July 2017, MUD released his solo debut album, Make U Dirty, produced entirely by Neetz and executive-produced by KEIJU (then YOUNG JUJU), featuring guest appearances from IO and Gottz.

3. Mud is also the name of a dark ambient project, a collaboration between Steve Hall of Yen Pox and Traig Foltz of Used.

4. Originally from the island of Guam. In 2001, the San Francisco music scene began to resonate a little louder with the induction of indie newcomer MUD. Describing their sound as, "A blending of punk's energy and the edge of metal," their raw guitar riffs, heavy bass grooves and depth in song writing have since drawn comparisons to successful crossover bands like Jawbreaker, NOFX, Letters to Cleo, Green Day and The Foo Fighters.

Over the years, MUD has become a frequent fixture at Bay Area landmark venues such as Slim's, Bottom of the Hill and The Warfield. MUD has since expanded their resume to include the 2006 Van's Warped Tour, headlining SF's Live 105 Official Warped Tour After Party , opening for national touring acts such as The Matches (Epitaph), April Sixth(Elektra), The Forces of Evil (members of Reel Big Fish) and Camp Freddy (Slash,Duff McKagan,Scott Weiland,Billy Morrison,Matt Sorum) as part of the Recording Academy's Tribute to SF Music Past and Future,featuring guest artist Steve Jones,Joe Satriani,Lars Ulrich,Robert Trujilo,Mike Bordin,Jeremy Colson,Chester Bennington,Mark McGrath and Stephen Jenkins . Tracks from MUD's current CD, "Where is Tomorrow", have received domestic and international airplay on such popular stations as LIVE 105, KALX 90.7 and THE ROCK 105.1 FM. Recently signed to San Francisco indie label Talking House Records, MUD is currently working on material for an expected release in 2007.

5. MUD is a five-piece band from Bonn, Germany, blending alternative rock, indie, and post-punk energy into a raw and emotional sound. With their debut single "Prone to Error", they showcase driving riffs, atmospheric layers, and powerful vocals that explore vulnerability and resilience. MUD is shaping a unique voice in the German indie scene—intense, honest, and full of energy.
