UGLY KID JOE will release a new studio album, “Rad Wings Of Destiny”, on October 21. The official music video for the first single from the LP, “That Ain’t Livin'”, can be seen below.
“Rad Wings Of Destiny” sees UGLY KID JOE re-teaming producer Mark Dodson who was behind the desk for the band’s debut album, “America’s Least Wanted”, which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year.
“‘That Ain’t Livin” is a tip of the hat to old-school AC/DC ‘Powerage’ rock and roll,” comments UGLY KID JOE frontman Whitfield Crane. The track features Shannon Larkin, Dave Fortman, Klaus Eichstadt, Cordell Crockett and Crane, with a guest appearance from YELLOWCAKE guitarist JJ Curran.

The band released the EP “Stairway To Hell” in 2012 and the full-length “Uglier Than They Used Ta Be” in 2015.

But we survived it, and I can deal with it all now.”
