BUMP[1] (AKA B.U.M.P., an acronym of Burned-out Underpaid Musical Prodigies) is an American band which began in the 1990s. Their first album was released in July 1, 1999.[2] Burned Out Underpaid Musical Prodigies is not a well-known band, so information on this musical group is correspondingly not well known.

The front cover is an astronaut picture, taken on the moon, speed bump sign edited in; the back cover is a photo on Earth of a yellow speed bump sign; the outside liner notes are black text on a yellow background; and the inside liner notes are lyrics of the songs.[7]
