Let's face it, traditional music labels are dying a not-so-slow death. I-pods, MP3 players, and alternate methods of music distribution are now the norm, not the exception. Most of us use a digital delivery system to get the music we like these days.

Ugly Media has chosen to embrace this new age of music distribution, and we're taking positive steps toward becoming a part of the coming changes rather than trying to delay the inevitable demise of “the way things used to be.” In our view, changing isn't a choice, it's a reality---and we want to be on the ground floor.

We launched in early 2009, and we signed our first recording artist on May 22, 2009. We have one over-arching mission: to sign great bands to fair and reasonable contracts, and to bring their music to music fans in the most hands-off way possible. We're the middle man here and our job is getting music to fans in the formats that FANS want it delivered. That can mean digitally, via hard copy, live via web stream, or by podcast. We do it all.

We're just getting started and we're not convinced we have it all figured out. But we're forging partnerships, creating positive waves, and moving forward with our plan. We've signed Flakjacket---a simply AMAZING rock band---as our flagship artist. We hope to add additional artists as our business plan is rolled out over the coming months.

Ugly Media is the UN-Label…and we're aimed for success. Thanks for checking us out.
