Bumpin Uglies in Daytona

Bumpin Uglies are an American reggae-rock and ska-punk band formed in Annapolis, Maryland, in 2008 by singer-songwriter Brandon Hardesty. Their catalog pairs offbeat rhythms and punk energy with candid, often humorous lyrics; “Island Time,” “Bad Decisions” and “Morning After” are among their best-known songs, while Keep It Together and Beast from the East are key albums. Bumpin Uglies established the recurring Weekend at Wolfie’s festival in Bedford, Pennsylvania, as a focal point for their live community. Beyond that event, the band has toured the U.S. club circuit and performed at reggae-rock gatherings including California Roots in Monterey.

Shwayze is an American rapper from Malibu, California, known for laid-back hip-hop shaped by his work with singer and producer Cisco Adler. His 2008 self-titled debut included “Buzzin’” and “Corona and Lime,” while the MTV series Buzzin’ followed the pair as they made music and launched the project. Shwayze performed on the 2008 Vans Warped Tour during the debut album’s release cycle. Two years later, he joined the touring lineup of the Bamboozle Roadshow.
