The 1980 Listening Post - The Ugly Ducklings - Off the Wall

 The Ugly Ducklings - Off the Wall


1980 Housekeeping

The Ugly Ducklings

Off the Wall

Genre: 60s Garage

3.25 out of 5



Highlights:

And the Band Played On



This one is bizarre. The Ugly Ducklings released a handful of singles iand a record n the 60s and then put out rerecordings of some of them with new tracks in 1980. So, I guess we gotta listen to this slice of curiosity.


If 14 years had passed and no one was asking for garage rock music, why not at least TRY to update your sound? Okay that’s not totally fair since it does verge on Southern Swamp Rock at times. 


The songs aren’t there, either.  


Here’s a hint: Lead off with your best track. Don’t make it the final track.
