Thee Unstrung were an English group, signed to Mercury Records, who released a 2005 album titled Lie, Cheat and Steal.

Thee Unstrung was made up of Ben Bailey (Lead Guitar), Steve Holbrook (Rhythm Guitar, Lead Vox), Rob Power (Bass) and Ben Tweedy (Drums).They toured extensively in 2005. Over the 10 years the band were together many members came and went. Ben Bailey was the founder of the group. He was also the most prolific songwriter and has gone on to form a new band. His Lost Boys are Bailey's latest project and are playing lots of gigs in England's capital in 2008. They are also recording their debut album after landing a new record deal, which seems as yet to materialise.

Steve Holbrook, Rob Power and Ben Tweedy went on to form 1984, joined by lead guitarist Gareth Sutherland.
