The Methadones were a band formed in 1993 by guitarist/vocalist Dan Vapid. The Methadones initially lasted only a few shows before Dan put them to the side to focus on his main band Screeching Weasel. By 1999 Dan was no longer a member of Screeching Weasel or his other band The Riverdales, and decided to restart The Methadones with B-Face of The Queers on bass, and Dan Lumley on drums. The band recorded their first album Ill At Ease in 2001. After the recording, B-Face and Lumley left the band. Schafer formed a new lineup of The Methadones with guitarist Mike Byrne, bassist Pete Mittler, and drummer Mike Soucy.[1][2] During their 2007 tour the band briefly featured another guitarist, Ken Ortman (of the Neutron Bombs), so that Dan could focus on just singing.[3]

On June 11, 2010, The Methadones announced their disbandment on their myspace page stating that, "it's been 10 years and we've had a lot of fun, but we all agree that it's just time." [4][5]

For their final release, the band plans to release a collection featuring five new songs, all of the band's 7" songs as well as some extras.[6][7]

The Methadones reunited for a few songs during a performance of Dan Vapid and the Cheats at the Cobra Lounge in Chicago on May 27, 2011.[8]
