"Their ability to take hard blues rock and twist and distort it into darker, more unique territories is akin to that of Queens of the Stone Age. THE UGLY KINGS’ brand of power blues is captivating." - Classic Rock Magazine on the first full-length, Darkness Is My Home.
Napalm Records announced that the Australian blues rock band The Ugly Kings has signed a worldwide contract with the Austrian premium rock and metal label! The quartet offers a potent injection of energy and emotion while mixing catchy riffs with intense rhythms and deep and emotional vocalization. After releasing a first mini-album "F Sins" in 2015, The Ugly Kings unveiled its debut three years later with "Darkness Is My Home." The band's most recent release, the two-track EP "Gypsy Queen," is another explosion of hard rock, foreshadowing a promising future! The Ugly Kings at present enjoys an impressive number of shows and has shared the stage with top-notch bands like Airbourne, Papa Roach, 1000mods and Rival Sons. During this adventure journey, the Melbourne quartet gathered a legion of fans along the way and convinced their colleagues:
"The Ugly Kings really have their own thing going on, and this is awesome! I love all the dynamics, pushing and pulling and always breaking. Great intensity and power," said Joel O'Keeffe (vocalist and guitarist for Airbourne).
