Uglier Than They Used ta Be

Ugly Kid Joe

A heavy, matured return to form. Thick riffs and a weathered sneer replace 90s bratty humor with a darker, more muscular hard rock grit.

September 18, 2015 · Metalville (2)

A gritty, muscular reclamation of hard rock identity that replaces youthful sarcasm with weathered defiance.

Moments Worth Listening For
The surprising transition into a heavy, doom-laden sludge riff during the bridge of Under the Bottom.
Phil Campbell's unmistakable Motorhead-style guitar grit elevating the frantic pace of the Ace of Spades cover.
The soulful, slowed-down transformation of Papa Was a Rolling Stone into a heavy blues-rock anthem.
