Lye and Deny - hardcore heavy metal

Lye and Deny is a metal band from Midland, Texas that is fronted by Tripp Houck on lead guitar and vocals, with his father Todd Houck on rhythm guitar, Buddy Munoz on bass, and Joe-el Desjarlais on drums. Lye and Deny evolved from a previous trio playing mostly grunge and post-grunge hard rock covers. As Tripp began writing and recording original music, produced by Thurber T. Mingus of Pumpjack, they eventually changed the name of the band to Lye and Deny.  With Tripp’s dynamic stage presence and blistering solos, Todd’s steady riff work, Buddy’s thunderous bass lines and Joe-el's powerhouse drumming, Lye and Deny put on a high energy show that does not disappoint!
