Ugly Kid Joe

About

Formed in 1989 in Isla Vista, California, this American hard rock band's name cleverly spoofs the glam metal band Pretty Boy Floyd. They have released five full-length albums, two compilation albums and two EPs throughout their career. Their most successful records are As Ugly as They Wanna Be and America's Least Wanted, both certified double platinum by the RIAA, with the former being the first EP to achieve platinum status. After breaking up in 1997, the band announced a reunion in 2010 and resumed their musical activities.
