Bums Lie is a band that was started out of a love for music that not only makes you feel good, but also leaves the listener with a sense of substance. In May of 2001 Bums Lie was beginning to take shape and four friends were brought together armed with a Urban reggae sound and a punk attitude. Within a year and a half Bums Lie was opening for reggae legends Culture, and shortly thereafter released their underground classic album First Time Offender. Bums Lie has since opened up for Grammy award winning artist Damien Marley at The Music Farm in Charleston, Sc, and Yellowman at Ziggys in Winston Salem, NC. May 26th 2007 marked the day that Bums Lie released their newest CD Why Lie It's For Beer with Rob Tavaglione at Catalyst Recording, and will be touring throughout the southeast playing shows to promote the new CD.

So far in 2008 Bums Lie has recorded a new record which will be their first live CD recorded at the Visulite Theater in Charlotte NC.  The live album called "Stumbling, and Mumbling" will be released in the late Summer of 2008.  Bums Lie recently have been working with Ska Legend King Django's record label Stubborn Records where all Bums Lie Merchandise will be available for anyone to purchase.  Bums Lie will also be playing at King Django's Version City Party at the Knitting Factory in New York City on July 5th.
