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 <a href="spotify:artist:0jx4hPtb5enLdBDdHKuSgf" data-name="Kottonmouth Kings">Kottonmouth Kings</a> , <a href="spotify:artist:05Szc9MIj7z13BW5ZbDAm3" data-name="8 Kalacas">8 Kalacas</a> , and <a href="spotify:artist:4IJczjB0fJ04gs4uvP0Fli" data-name="Gym Class Heroes">Gym Class Heroes</a> , and has provided direct support for <a href="spotify:artist:1Y1kDWjW2TMpI2W2adrZhb" data-name="Joint Operation">Joint Operation</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:3zAxGWQqKmDnAsCY57ihKR" data-name="Long Beach Dub Allstars">Long Beach Dub Allstars</a> - cementing their reputation as a reliable, high-impact live act that delivers for both fans and promoters.
