The Ugly Club is a diverse and ever-growing project of musical ideas and stylings. Comprised of Ryan Egan, Taylor Mandel, Joe Stasio, Ryan Mcnulty, and Rick Sue-Poi, the band is formulating a new brand of psychedelic indie-rock reminiscent of bands like Wilco and My Morning Jacket.

The group has self produced & released two EPs, “Sing What You Want” and their latest “Visions of Tall Girl,” which was engineered and produced by guitarist Joe Stasio at Soundwaves Studio in Union, NJ. Their debut full-length “You Belong To The Minutes” is currently in production and will be released July 2012.

Over the course of two years, The Ugly Club has received praise from publications such as Absolutepunk.net, The Aquarian, The Music Slut, & The Deli Mag as well as surpassing 100k downloads on Frostwire. The group has performed at venues such as Starland Ballroom, SXSW, Maxwell’s, The Stone Pony, & Webster Hall, and continue to build their buzz all throughout the country.

“Make no mistake about it, The Ugly Club is the kind of band male teenagers envy and teenage females dream about. And with an effort this strong, it’s only a matter of time before lines will be too long, ticket pre-sales will sell out and their faces will be ever-present.”
-Greg Robson (Absolutepunk.net)

“If White Arrows were the hardest working “official” SXSW band, The Ugly Club was the hardest working “unofficial” band.”
-Mike Henneberger (Island Waves on SXSW 2012)

“I kept trying to put my finger on which other band The Ugly Club sounded like, but the truth is this band has found a sound they can completely call their own.”
-Lauren Mack (The Well Written Woman)

“I can very well foresee these guys having an active roll in my soundtrack for 2012.”
-Jay Armstrong (Listen Before You Buy)

“The Ugly Club boasts a vibrant and mildly-mind-bending sound.”
-Laura Evans (Infectious Magazine)
