In a world where perception usually trumps reality, here are some cold, hard truths about the band Four Letter Lie: Hailing from Minnesota, the four members of Four Letter Lie-- singer Brian Nagan, bassist John Waltmann, drummer Derek Smith and guitarist Connor Kelly--had only been together a short while before they cut their own EP, sold 1,500 copies of it and drew raves in the press. "This release from Minnesota‘s Four Letter Lie sums up everything that we’ve become familiar with in melodic hardcore, and does it perfectly," raved AMP Magazine. The guys have been touring on their own since the band’s inception; in 2005, they landed choice slots on the Warped and A Taste of Chaos tours—the latter tour invited them back in 2006. With their scream-along choruses, monster breakdowns, and unexpected, yet well balanced soft side, Four Letter Lie have built a dedicated, and loyal local fan-base from the ground up as well as a strong nationwide audience. So it should come as no surprise to find out that Four Letter Lie was one of the four featured unsigned bands in January‘s issue of Alternative Press Magazine, and was selected by fans to perform for the second year in a row at Taste Of Chaos. “We have always been a band who works as hard as we can at what we do and I think that‘s something people start to notice after awhile,” Skaff adds. Victory Records sure took notice, as they snapped them up in 2006 and sent them into the studio with producer extraordinaire Michael Birnbaum
