The debut slab by the Ugly Americans on Discipline Records is an infamous fourteen dirty song masterpiece. Simon Bob Sinister founded the Uglys along with Danny Hooligan, Chris Eubank and Dan Adams in Durham. Adams soon left and was replaced by Jon McClain. After releasing two albums and a 7Inch the band broke up in 1986. This is an excellent record and very representative of what this band sounded like in the day. Great catchy mid-tempo numbers seasoned with quick snotty attacks plus a few melodic ballads. They drove that dirty aggressive sound a little back on their second longplayer Who's Sleeping In My Bed? but I like it too. Simon then joined C.O.C. and in 2014 the band reformed and released the Panopticon EP and since then they played shows in North Carolina and I think they're still alive.
