UGLY THINGS is an American music magazine that has spent decades documenting the wild, primitive, and largely forgotten music of the 1960s garage rock era and its descendants. The publication is one of the most exhaustively researched music magazines in existence, featuring discographies, band biographies, and historical features that unearth recordings and stories that would otherwise have been lost to time.
Each issue is a deep dive into musical history — the bands that pressed 300 copies of a single in 1966 and then vanished, the regional scenes that produced extraordinary music before anyone thought to document them, the connections between obscure records that reveal the hidden architecture of rock and roll history. The writing is passionate and encyclopaedic, reflecting a magazine made by collectors and historians whose knowledge of their subject borders on the supernatural.
For anyone who believes the greatest rock and roll was made in garages by teenagers who could barely play, UGLY THINGS is the magazine that has been proving them right for decades — one forgotten 45 at a time.
