Ugly Kid Joe are an American rock band formed in Isla Vista, California in 1989. They rose to prominence with their debut EP, As Ugly As They Wanna Be, in 1991, which became the first EP to ever go platinum. Their multi-platinum debut album, America's Least Wanted, followed in 1992, which featured hits including "Cats In The Cradle" and "Everything About You".
After splitting up in 1997, the band re-formed in 2010, releasing the Stairway To Hell EP in 2012, and the album Uglier Than They Used Ta Be, in 2015.
