Meet "The Sound Of Ugly", a 5 piece Rock/Hip Hop group coming to you from Woodland Hills, CA. Their general mix of genres tends to give the listener a very emotional experience and only leaves them asking for more. Comprised of gritty Rock vocals with deep lyrics and clever punch lines delivered by Casey, accompanied by soothing yet energetic, goddess like vocal melodies from Olivia. All coming together to sound something like a modern version of Rap Rock executed with a little more deep thought, projection, and feeling.
Not only does The Sound Of Ugly offer a unique combination of vocals, their instrumentals give the perfect setting for lyrical placement and grooves, surely not something to overlook. With punchy drums and a subtle ambiance to glue it all together, it may have you thinking their are elements similar to the band "Volumes", coincidence? Not likely. If you haven't noticed by now, Daniel Braunstein is the man behind the strings for both bands, and it just so happens that he does most of the productions for both of these groups as well, so you can see where the overlap comes into play. Despite the diversity in genres, The Sound Of Ugly offer crisp, clean recordings that are full of life, with all elements of the music portrayed in a very fashionable manner. It's a little sad their EP has only a few songs.
Although it was a little hard to get some info together on these guys, as the closest thing to a band bio I found was "We're Ugly. You're Ugly. Lets Be Friends!", they do have a Facebook Page which is fully active, and has recently had a stream of shows posted to it. On that page you will find 1 song on the band page tab, titled "Disguise yourself", this is an amazing track overall, and only leaves us wanting more. Well, don't you worry, if you email the band, you can get a free copy of their 3 song EP, which I strongly recommend to anyone who likes the song on their band page. The EP is easily one of the most creative and catchy 3 song releases I have heard from an unsigned band in a very long time.
So if you're searching for something that is a little different from what's been getting pushed around the internet lately, I suggest you check out The Sound Of Ugly, and if you like their music, head over to their Facebook page and tell them to lay down some more tracks! Because I know I am surely looking forward to hearing more from this group!
