Ugly Side Up began in 2016 in Dominykas Bytautas' studio apartment in Austin, TX and evolved into a 3-piece pop punk band. In 2018, Dominykas moved to Los Angeles and put the band back together again to play live shows. The group is a 90s rock band stuck in the 21st century, featuring fast, dancey songs about life's glory and lack thereof. Ugly Side Up released their first EP called "Fool" in 2021, featuring the singles "Summer Comes & Summer Goes" and "A Broken Heart for Two", the latter being nominated for Best Music Video Shot on a Cell Phone at the LA Music Video Awards. On July 22, 2022, the band released their first full length album in four years titled "This is a Robbery", featuring the singles "Wasted" and "This is How I Say Hello". Since 2023, they have released five singles, including "Magic Johnson" which receives regular airplay on Radio FM 88.5 The SoCal Sound. Ugly Side Up can be followed and listened to on Instagram, Spotify, Apple Music, and everywhere music is listened to and sold.
