Wisconsin troubadour Buck Shot has dropped a fresh single that puts a modern spin on the classic heartbreak anthem. “Liar, Liar” arrived on May 4th and clocks in at a tight two-and-a-half minutes of upbeat, feel-good energy wrapped around a not-so-feel-good subject.

The Manitowoc-based artist—known for blending old country sensibilities with classic rock grit and his own original songwriting—delivers a track that’s surprisingly bright given its title. With a tempo pushing 155 BPM and a valence score that screams positivity, “Liar, Liar” plays like the musical equivalent of laughing off a bad breakup while driving down a Wisconsin backroad with the windows down.

The production leans into a clean, major-key arrangement that lets Buck Shot’s storytelling take center stage. There’s an acoustic intimacy to the track despite its energetic pulse—a testament to his reputation as a one-man-band who can fill a room without a backing crew.

For fans of heartland rock with a sense of humor and performers who’ve logged serious hours entertaining crowds across Wisconsin’s dive bars and supper clubs, Buck Shot continues to carve out his own lane. “Liar, Liar” is proof that sometimes the best revenge is a hook you can’t get out of your head.
