Ugly (UK) is a London-based six-piece British art rock band from Cambridge formed in 2016.[1][2][3] The group has performed with and likened to Black Country, New Road and Lime Garden.[4] Unlike contemporaries, Ugly boasts folk music instrumentation and rich and dramatic vocal harmonies.[5][6] Their music has been described as art rock, post rock and experimental, while musical influences include choral music and music of the '60s and '70s.[3][7]
History
[edit]Original band members included guitarists Samuel Goater and Harrison Jones, drummer Charlie Wayne and bassist Brodie Weir, who met each other in college in Cambridge.[8][9]
The band underwent a time of self-reflection in 2022, and changed their sound from a grittier, post-rock feel to an ensemble and vocal driven approach.[9]
