The Uglysuit is a fresh, energetic young band that hails from the heartland metropolis of Oklahoma City. The band is made up of six friends who have been playing together for so long that they say they feel like family. That bond blossoms on this self-titled album's upbeat, buoyant indie-rock. The band's sound is big and bold, like that of fellow Oklahoma institutions the Flaming Lips and Evangelicals. The album's first single "Chicago" is appropriately named, since the Uglysuit records for the venerable Windy City label Touch and Go.
