Formed in 2017, The Busted Uglies are a high-octane, Southern California reggae-rock band delivering infectious hooks, beach-soaked grooves, and explosive live energy. Blending sun-drenched melodies with gritty rock edges, the band has built a reputation for turning every show into a full-on party-equal parts feel-good vibes and raw, road-tested intensity. Anchored by original members Ben Ryan Treat (vocals / guitar) and Tyler Vaughn-Salazar (bass / backing vocals), the band has continued to evolve and sharpen its sound. The addition of Jonathan Berumen (drums) in 2022 brought a driving, modern rhythm section, while Cayton "Cay-tones" Waller (guitar / backing vocals) joined in 2024, injecting fresh creativity, dynamic harmonies, and a renewed edge that has taken the band to the next level. Their debut EP, Yesterdaze, is a nonstop, crowd-ready collection of upbeat, party-driven reggae rock-written with live audiences in mind. Every track is built for sing-alongs, movement, and connection, making The Busted Uglies a natural fit for festivals, club stages, breweries, and outdoor events alike. The band has shared stages with national touring acts including Kottonmouth Kings, 8 Kalcas, and Gym Class Heroes, and has provided direct support for Joint Operation and Long Beach Dub Allstars cementing their reputation as a reliable, high-impact live act that delivers for both fans and promoters.
