OUR NEW ALBUM IS OUT NOW. CHECK IT OUT HERE.

PVD, RI & BOS, MA USA

Ugly Moon is the music of brothers Mike & Matt Mowry, bassist Johnny McMahon, and drummer Ian McMillan. Known for delivering heavy, guitar-driven folk and indie rock with a raw, emotional core. Their sound is both retrospective and poignant, weaving between tender, contemplative melodies and aggressive, unfiltered intensity. Ugly Moon crafts songs that feel deeply personal yet universally resonant.

"English Eyes feels like a lot of things. A eulogy, a drinking song, the final song of a show, a tearjerker… like Robert Frost writing bruised up indie rock songs with a punk heart.”

-Robb Donker Curtius, American Pancake

“That’s a special vibe that can’t be replicated, nor well explained I imagine. It’s a big powerful statement, and one that should lead you into listening to their new LP!”  

               -Nathan Lankford, Austin Town Hall

 

“Halfway through, the song shifts… expanding the melody with a new layer of emotion—this time more openly vulnerable and expressive. A truly powerful and moving song.”

— Motel Void
