Genre disruptors People R Ugly are gearing up for their first-ever Warped Tour—and they’re doing it in style. On their episode of idobi Warped Radio, the four-piece sat down with Fish and brought five mini bottles of Jack Daniel’s along for the ride. Mid-interview shots set the tone for a loose, unfiltered conversation about everything from viral stunts to figuring out who the hell they are as a band. Bottoms up, boys!
Surprisingly, People R Ugly had never heard of Warped Tour before getting the call to play it. But they’re quickly making up for lost time, becoming fast favorites thanks to their genre-defiant sound, unhinged humor, and relentless energy. The band reflects on their DIY beginnings—independently booking their first show at LA’s iconic Whisky a Go Go—and how their chaotic stage presence has earned them both fans and confused stares alike.

From fake driver’s licenses at Coachella to trolling a major label with a joke track that (thankfully) never made it to streaming, the band thrives on controversy. Their single “Brain Dead” opens with a deliberately provocative line designed to jolt you awake—and that’s the point.
As the shots keep coming and the stories get weirder, one thing becomes clear: People R Ugly are here to stir the pot, but they’re also here to stay.
