Bumpin Uglies
Driven by DIY merit, Annapolis band, Bumpin Uglies is no stranger to the pull of the bootstrap.
Seven successful studio albums have paved the way for the awe-inspiring eighth. Underdog: The Acoustic Sessions, recorded live in studio by the band's founder, Brandon Hardesty, showcases the songwriting prowess that has been a constant pillar of the band's music since its inception. Consisting of 16-tracks, the LP introduces seven new songs never before heard and nine fan favorites that have been stripped down to raw, poignant, gut-punching versions that differ from the fast-paced guitar riffs, pulsing drums, and dynamic horn sections of the originals.
"Underdog: The Acoustic Sessions is an anthem for authenticity. It's for all the artists that choose to embrace their passion as a form of art, rather than a transactional medium. A celebration of the imperfections that make us beautiful", frontman and singer/songwriter, Hardesty conveys.
Distributed via Silverback's independent record label, Controlled Substance Sound Labs, Underdog: The Acoustic Sessions maintains the DIY ethos that is the foundation of Bumpin Uglies.
