Whitfield Crane (Vocals) and Klaus Eichstadt (Guitars) teamed up with Sonny Mayo (Guitars), Shannon Larkin (Drums), Zac Morris (Drums), Cordell Crockett (Bass) and Dave Fortman (Guitars) to write/record Ugly Kid Joe s most cohesive sounding album to date.
In addition to the nine newly written original songs, 'Uglier Than They Used Ta Be' features a couple of cover songs including Rare Earth s version of 'Papa Was A Rolling Stone' and the Motörhead classic 'Ace of Spades' with a very special guest appearance from Motörhead guitarist Phil Campbell who lends his signature sound to the timeless track.
