After a huge 12 months of touring with DZ Deathrays, garage-rock four-piece Pretty Uglys released their debut album, Vicenarian, last week (7 March).

Alongside the album's announcement, the boys will commence a national headline tour — beginning on March 7th at Mojo’s in Fremantle — to celebrate its release.

These rockers from Perth released their first EP, Beach For Free, in 2018. Since then, Pretty Uglys have had singles such as Soak It Up and Pleased To Meet Ya soar on the Spotify charts.

Here’s a short, but sweet run through of the candid album from guitarist and lead vocalist Jaxon Alp.

DAMAGE OF THE NIGHT

Don't miss a beat with our FREE daily newsletter

We have all experienced damage of the night before… aka a hangover. This track has a strong place for those in their party era.

PAY TO PLAY

When you take things too far or find yourself out of your depth, sometimes you pay the price… Pay To Play.

STAY TRUE

Stay True is a track about following your heart and staying true to yourself and your emotions, all wrapped up into a summer anthem.

OLD AND GREY

Exactly as the name suggests, Old And Grey is a song about ageing. Time really does fly.

RIGHT THIS TIME

It’s a love song about finding your natural place and everything feeling just right.

EFFIE’S SONG

A love song about a 5-year-old female white Staffy called Effie. She currently resides in Perth, WA, and loves cuddles and walks to the park.

SUPERNOVA

Supernova is an ode to those moments in life that feel completely overwhelming and as though nothing is falling into place.

WORLD VIEW

What’s the point in being me, if I have to follow someone else?

TRY TO HIDE

When you have a definite issue you are facing mentally or emotionally, but you choose to push it to the side, you are trying to hide.

THE PLACE

An ode to rounding up the album, with the album being a ‘long time coming’ and The Place being the final destination (completion of Vicenarian).
