Ugly Kid Joe to release first album in nearly 20 years

Ugly Kid Joe will release their first album in nearly two decades.

Uglier Than They Used Ta Be is the band’s first full length since 1996’s Motel California. The album will be released on 18 September, with the first single Hell Ain’t Hard To Find already released and She’s Already Gone to be released on 14 September.

“It’s a full circle of sorts,” says Crane. “There was a lot of love and talent in one room and that is exactly what this album sounds like.”

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 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.
