Rad Wings of Destiny

Ugly Kid Joe

High-octane riffs meet dusty Americana storytelling. A record that trades bratty 90s sarcasm for a seasoned, hard-driving rock and roll wisdom.

Moments Worth Listening For

The unexpected transition into a faithful yet muscular hard rock reimagining of The Kinks' Lola.
The shift from gritty hard rock to the vulnerable, acoustic-led storytelling of Everything's Changing.
