The Ugly Beats is a garage rock band from Austin, Texas.[1][2]

Born in 2003 from the remnants of Austin's Sir Finks,[3] their first album Bring On The Beats! appeared in 2004, with a 1960s sound recalling pieces of the Kinks and the Who, as well elements of the Easybeats.[4]

Their following albums continue the combination of the garage sounds with influences from the 60s. Diego RJ nicknamed them "the 60's Ramones".[5]
