Lye by Mistake was an American experimental metal band from St. Louis, Missouri,[1] that formed in 2004.
[2] They blend many genres into their music, including progressive rock, jazz fusion, and mathcore.
By late 2012, the band's dissolution was confirmed by both former vocalist Tony Saputo and former drummer Drew Button, although no official breakup announcement was ever made.
In October 2009, "Fea Jur" was released as their sophomore effort on the record label Black Market Activities.
The band's name comes from Edward Gorey's book of the illustrated alphabet, in which J is for James who took lye by mistake.
