Ugly Kids Roll Back the Years at the Regent

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:44:02 GMT

Ugly Kids Roll Back the Years at the Regent: It’s very easy to forget just how successful Ugly Kid Joe were in the early part of the ’90s. Their mainstream fame was fleeting, true. But 1991’s As Ugly as They Wanna Be EP, which was padded out into 1992’s America’s Least Wanted album, saw them tour internationally with the likes of Def Leppard, and earn a handful of radio hits.By the second album, 1995’s Menace to Sobriety, the love affair appeared to be over. The band was treading water, even though that record had some solid tunes on it. Frontman Whitfield Crane would, bizarrely, be fronting New York’s metal/hardcore crossover band Life of Agony by ’97 — truly one of the weirdest meetings of musical minds.

But in 2010, the band reformed and it has stubbornly stuck around...
