A Liar Wrote This is the sixth studio album by post-hardcore band The Bunny the Bear, released through Victory Records on July 24, 2015. It is the band's first release without founding clean vocalist Chris Hutka, and the first and only release to feature Haley Roback. The album's title is derived from Tybor's side project, "A Liar Wrote This Symphony."
The album was recorded in early 2015 shortly after the departure of Chris Hutka. The album was announced in June 2015, with an accompanying single, "Lover's Touch." A re-recorded version of "It's Not Always Cold in Buffalo" (originally on Stories) was included on the album and released with an accompanying music video.
Three of the album's tracks: Curtain Call, Somewhat Standards, and Sleep Sequence, were originally recorded by A Liar Wrote This Symphony in 2012.
