Share

By Adam Waldman Why would a band release a video for a song nearly two years after it appeared on their debut album?  In the case of Toronto’s Ugly Melon, it’s because they refuse to be defined by the confines of what is considered “normal” in today’s rock climate. While most aspiring rock bands plant […]

Written by TonyLaSelva (Ugly Melon) I ended Chapter 2 of “My Rock and Roll Journey” at the beginning of what would eventually become Ugly Melon.
