lyrics
Just a boy from Switzerland. To Idyllwild he transported. Mongoloids, Atomic Soop. Fuck it all, he flew the coop. Costa Rica called his name. Pura Vida every day. Played guitar around the town. Made some cash, he had it down. Open mic became his game. Rushed the stage and made a name. Face the future, fuck the past. Johnny Trash was born at last.
Do you like to smell good? Come my way. I’m droppin’ bottles today.
Then one day he met a girl. Off again around the world. England, Norway; paid his dues. Back to Idy, licked his wounds. Liquid Wagon made a toast. Hit the road along the coast. Came back home and made a plan: up to Portland, move the band. Instruments collecting dust. Music dreams, they were a bust. To Jet City – his new dream; droppin’ bottles, smellin’ clean.
Combining crooned murder ballads with raw, angsty hard rock hooks, Melbourne's The Ugly Kings are a wrecking crew well worth watching. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 15, 2021
The perfect blend of naive enthusiasm and unfiltered rock 'n' roll danger, leading to an explosive, raw sound. Volcanic, pure, and crushing. Bandcamp New & Notable May 30, 2017
