Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded with legendary engineer Steve Albini, 'Ugly' captures the explosive live energy of the New Brunswick trio with stark, unvarnished clarity. Marissa Paternoster's phenomenal guitar work serves as the focal point, unleashing a torrent of blistering solos and muscular riffs over a relentless, punk-infused rhythm section. The album stands as a powerful testament to the enduring vitality of fiercely independent DIY rock.
