The Pretty Ugly

About

The Pretty Ugly are a 3 piece Alt pop/rock group based in Yorkshire. The 80s obsessed Indie rockers, once described as looking like they 'met at a bus stop' aren't your average alternative group. A unique blend of Alt rock and past decade nostalgia breathe a new breath of life into the 20s that comes just as unexpected as it is needed. "With soaring harmonies and catchy melodies these guys have done something really special with that 80s throw back trend that has been going around" (Christan Carlisle - BBC introducing DJ Sheffield) The bands new single 'Elvis' is set to be released on the 17th October. Here is what James had to say about the new release: 'The song was mine and my wife's 'theme song' for our relationship that we kept behind closed doors but when it came to the wedding I wanted to craft this full version to really embody the romance and the emotion behind the song. We wanted it to be so different to anything else we have done before in terms of instrumentation and we wanted to experiment so we utilised Dans skill at being able to play absolutely everything. Within the track we have strings, flute, accordion and a cool little instrument called a kalimba. All things completely new to us but it has totally inspired everything that is yet to come. We are still us and we’re still making music within the same branch of our alternative roots but it has totally redefined the way we have creatively approached our next project.'
