Ugly Kid Joe to release a new studio album in early 2027

American band Ugly Kid Joe have announced that their new studio album will come out in early 2027, according to WeRock. The record, the sixth in the band's discography, follows “Rad Wings of Destiny” (2022) and will be released through BLKIIBLK.

Guitarist Dave Fortman says the new material will be more metal than its predecessor. He explained that he does not mean glam or thrash, but plain old-school metal. His favourite song on the album is called “Great Divide”.

Ugly Kid Joe formed in 1987 in Isla Vista, in the United States, and play hard rock, heavy metal and alternative metal. WeRock notes that the band have played Bulgaria twice: at Sofia Rocks in 2012 and at Midalidare - Rock in the Wine Valley in 2022.
