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]

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." [3][4]

For their final release, simply entitled The Methadones, the band released a collection featuring five new songs, all of the band's 7" songs as well as some extras.[5] [6]

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.[7]

    You Don't Know Me Anymore

    by: The Methadones

    I saw you walking down the street
    For a second we were eye to eye
    There was a flicker of familiarity
    As we passed each other by
    There was a time I knew you well
    But that was a long time ago
    You don't know me anymore
    I had to turn my head back and take in this scene again
    How did it ever come to this?
    The question filled my mind
    There was a time I knew you well
    But now I'll just let bygones be
    You don't know me anymore
    I felt like a jerk with nothing to say
    But what's to talk about?
    You don't know me anyway
