We are proud to announce the signing of Australian hard
hitting rockers "The Ugly Kings" and will be releasing their first
full-length record early 2018.
The Ugly Kings are four powerhouse blues rockers drawing
influence from an eclectic and dynamic musical background. They offer a
powerful injection of energy and emotion to the modern rock scene, formulating
what can only be described as power blues. The catchy riffs and foot stomping
rhythm lay the foundations for the deep reaching and soulful emotive vocals.
Having 1 mini-album (Of Sins) under their belt already, they
are thrilled to sign with Kozmik Artifactz for the release of their debut full
length album in early 2018. The Ugly
Kings have supported Airbourne on their successful sold out east coast Australia tour
in January 2017 with great reviews. They also supported Rival Sons in 2016 on
their first Australia
headline side-show in Melbourne
during the Black Sabbath 'The End' World Tour.
"Loud, heavy, slightly-sludgy classic rock meets blues
with a modern bend, played by a band that swaggered about the stage with a
distinct, but subtle, air of cool. By the end, Sydney was more than happy to
learn words on the fly and sing along when the front man held his mic over the
mosh. The Ugly Kings are well-versed in the art of restraint, they know when to
move and make the crowd get on their feet, and when to step back and let the music
do the talking." - Australian Guitar
"It’s not often you see a band have the crowd so
excited and receptive by the second song in the way The Ugly Kings do with such
an original sound. Only to be described as The Ugly Kings!" - Ryan O’Keefe
(Airbourne Drummer)
"Great show! The Ugly Kings have really got their own
thing going on and it rocks! I love all the dynamics, pushing and pulling and
then always smashing it out. Great intensity and power." - Joel O’Keefe
(Airbourne Frontman & Lead Guitarist)
"Thick, groove induced chords, deep baritone vocals and
a harden-the-fuck-up ethos" - Phantom's Way
"Promised Land, a four-minute beast that sounds like
the Rival Sons and the Graveltones going head-to-head with John Bonham and Jim
Morrison. With multiple riffs and deft twists and turns, it sounds
fantastic.." - SonicAbuse
"Promised Land ..bounces, pushes and crawls like a
wounded beast treading through a boneyard. Well, that is, right up till the
scream of rage as a flock of vulturish guitars is disturbed beyond all reason.
This is an interesting and clever composition." - Raw Ramp
