Ugly Kid Joe is back from a 19 year hiatus and will be releasing their full-length album called Uglier Than They Used Ta Be. The new album will be out on October 16th via Metalville/UKJ Records.
Ugly Kid Joe is streaming their single She’s Already Gone over at Revolver Mag, so check it out if you’re curious.
In addition to the nine newly written original songs, the album features a couple of cover songs including Rare Earth’s version of ‘Papa Was A Rolling Stone’ with Australian chart-topping vocalist Dallas Frasca lending her unmistakable vocals behind Crane, and the Motörhead classic ‘Ace of Spades’ with a very special guest appearance from Motörhead guitarist Phil Campbell who lends his signature sound to the timeless track. Campbell also appears on the tracks ‘My Old Man’ and ‘Under The Bottom’.
This band is currently touring the UK and plan on finishing with two shows at the Underworld in London towards the end of the month.
