This past spring, UGLY KID JOE completed its first U.S. tour in 27 years.
The Whitfield Crane fronted band persists in their touring endeavors, promoting their latest studio album, “Rad Wings Of Destiny,” released in October 2022.
For “Rad Wings Of Destiny,” the group reunited with producer Mark Dodson, the creative force behind the band’s debut album, “America’s Least Wanted,” which marked its 30th anniversary last year.
Following a 15-year break, UKJ regrouped in 2012 and embarked on extensive tours across Europe and various global destinations.
In 2012, the band released the EP “Stairway To Hell,” followed by the full-length album “Uglier Than They Used Ta Be” in 2015.
