Ugly Kid Joe will release a new studio album, Rad Wings Of Destiny, on October 21st. The official music video for the first single called, That Ain’t Livin‘, can be seen below.
Rad Wings Of Destiny sees the band re-teaming with producer Mark Dodson who was behind the desk for the band’s debut album, America’s Least Wanted, which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year.
That Ain’t Livin’ is a tip of the hat to old-school AC/DC Powerage rock and roll,” comments frontman Whitfield Crane. The track features Shannon Larkin, Dave Fortman, Klaus Eichstadt, Cordell Crockett and Crane, with a guest appearance from Yellowcake guitarist JJ Curran.
Ugly Kid Joe will return to Europe this summer for a slew of festival appearances throughout June and July, including Hellfest, Copenhell and Graspop Metal Meeting.
After a 15-year hiatus, the band reformed in 2012 and has toured extensively throughout Europe and the rest of the world.
The band released the EP Stairway To Hell in 2012 and the full-length Uglier Than They Used Ta Be in 2015.

Anything AC/DC inspired is more than okay with me, hence my love of Airbourne.
I think UKJ did a good job, and I always did like Whitfield Crane, so as the Aussies would say, “good on them.”
I’m a big fan of this song , sounds great , I’m also a big fan of acdc inspired rock!
DANA, if you haven’t already checked em out , listen to rhino bucket ~
Hi Robert,
I realized I forgot to look into Rhino Bucket up. Boy, you weren’t kidding, they sound almost exactly like AC/DC, even more than Airbourne.
I think it’s a long way to go with nowhere to go…
I actually like this song a lot! Hope the rest of the album is as good!
I like it!
I don’t like waiting over 4 months for the album though.
