About Bumpin Uglies
Since the early 2000s, Bumpin Uglies have been carving their own path; channeling their tenacious and relentless attitude into their meticulous craft. Rejecting conventional norms, they’ve established a distinctive sound that is a perfect reflection of their Mid-Atlantic roots-gritty, down-to-earth and bursting with charisma.
With a genre-defying approach that seamlessly fuses punk energy with ska’s infectious grooves and reggae’s laid-back rhythms, Bumpin Uglies creates a musical experience that captivates audiences far and wide. Their live performances are legendary, infusing the crowd with an electrifying energy that leaves no one untouched.
About Ballyhoo!
Through 25 years and eight independent albums, Ballyhoo! has earned the exclamation point which marks their name. Starting in the basement of their mom’s Aberdeen, MD home – rocking out on guitar and drums respectively, practicing every day – brothers Howi and Donald Spangler formed the proto-punk band in the mold of Green Day and Nirvana … with an eye towards the emerging ska genre led by Goldfinger, Sublime, 311 and No Doubt.
The group’s eighth and most recent studio album, ‘Message to the World’, finds the self-declared “beach-rockers” having grown up in public, accepting the responsibilities of adulthood while still hanging on to their dreams of world domination. Stylistically, their music ranges from the hard-edged punk of 2018’s ‘Detonate’, which captured the feelings of anger and depression from dealing with personal loss and the exhaustion generated by over a decade on the road, to the island reggae beats of the follow-up ‘Message to the World’.
