==The Mumps==
{{main|Mumps (rock band)}}
Loud regrouped his band, naming it "The Mumps".  Along with Kristian Hoffman, the band included [[Rob Duprey]], [[Jay Dee Daugherty]] and Aaron Kiley. Daugherty and Kiley left the band early on and were replaced by Kevin Kiely and Paul Rutner.

Over the course of five years, The Mumps were booked regularly at [[Max's Kansas City]] and [[CBGB]], played on bills with rock and punk rock bands such as [[Television (band)|Television]], [[Talking Heads (band)|Talking Heads]], the [[Ramones]], [[Blondie (band)|Blondie]], [[Milk 'N' Cookies]], [[The Cramps]], [[Cheap Trick]], and [[Van Halen]]. Despite this popularity and two critically acclaimed, independent 45s, the group never landed a contract with a major record label. Two compilations of their music have been released: ''Fatal Charm'' (Eggbert Records, 1994), and a lavishly illustrated, remastered, 2-disc CD/DVD compilation, ''How I Saved The World'', in 2005.<ref>[{{AllMusic|class=artist|id=p141585/biography|pure_url=yes}}], Biography of The Mumps, ''[[Allmusic]]''</ref> The CD booklets contain affectionate tributes from members of the [[Cramps]], [[Sparks (band)|Sparks]], [[R.E.M.]], the [[New York Dolls]], [[Blondie (band)|Blondie]], [[Dramarama]], [[the Go-Go's]], [[Danzig (band)|Danzig]], [[Devo]], [[Patti Smith|Patti Smith Group]], and the [[The Screamers|Screamers]], as well as praise from [[Danny Fields]], [[Jayne County]], [[Rufus Wainwright]], and [[Paul Reubens]], helping to secure The Mumps a place in musical history.

Loud wrote a monthly column in the influential ''Rock Scene'' magazine, an early supporter of glam and the punk genre.  In his columns, Loud reported on his favorite artists and covered junkets he took, such as a brief tour with [[Jim Dandy Mangrum]] of the band [[Black Oak Arkansas]].
