Details: Hailing from the great down under but headed straight to the top, Melbourne, Australia based gritty alternative rockers THE Ugly Kings are poised to turn heads with their bombastic sophomore full-length, Strange, Strange Times, out via Napalm Records. Equal parts darkened power blues and raw punk with a metallic rock edge, THE Ugly Kings channel the flavor of groups like Queens Of The Stone Age and The White Stripes while preserving razor sharp, daringly introspective control with clever lyricism and addictive riffage.
