Ugly Kid Joe announced their arrival back on the UK scene with a triumphant set at a sold out London Underworld and a second stage performance at Download festival in June 2012. This coincided with the digital release of brand new material – the 'Stairway To Hell' EP. This launch-pad saw them go on to play to over 300,000 people across Europe in June and July 2012 – playing with such luminaries as Guns N Roses, Faith No More and The Cult.
'Stairway To Hell', a 6-song EP which heralds Ugly Kid Joe's return to the world of music after a long time away, contains songs spanning the full repertoire of influences which made Ugly Kid Joe one of the prime soundtracks for young snowboarders, surfers, keggers and characters worldwide. Whether it's 'Devil’s Paradise', with it's hypnotic riffery and hook line, the melodic power-fueled darkness of 'No One Survives' or the irrepressibly memorable chug-n-chorus of 'I'm Alright' it seems that Ugly Kid Joe have everything they started with plus fatter chops and a (frankly) superior curve on songwriting.
And realize one VERY important thing about Ugly Kid Joe; they mean every goddam note, every goddam riff and every goddam moment they deliver. Like AC/DC, like Judas Priest, like Alice In Chains, what you see is what you get; it ain't any different in any other way other than the ability to perform-the-fuck out of their material...
