Aaron Camaro of Decibel Geek joins forces with LC to discuss the genius of Ugly Kid Joe. Note: This ep features zero songs with Hate or Cradle in the title.  Join us for a fun conversation. 

In 1991, Ugly Kid Joe released As Ugly As They Wanna Be, the greatest-selling EP of all time.  They followed it up with the multi-platinum America’s Least Wanted, toured with bands such as Ozzy Osbourne, and then… basically vanished.  Since then they’ve released several albums you’ve likely never heard of, and their new release Rad Wings of Destiny is out on October 21, 2022.  We discuss their history and our fandom, highlight each of our top 5 songs plus present our theory of why they never play in the US.
