Ugly Kid Joe was formed in 1989 and the band's name spoofs the glam metal band Pretty Boy Floyd. Ugly Kid Joe have released five full-length albums, two compilation albums and two EPs. Their best selling records are As Ugly as They Wanna Be (1991) and America's Least Wanted (1992), which were both certified double platinum by the RIAA; the former is notable for being the first EP to go platinum. The band broke up in 1997, but announced a reunion in 2010 and subsequently recommenced activity.

Now to celebrate the 30th anniversary of ‘Menace to Sobriety’ Deko Entertainment is remastering and repackaging it in two different configurations and colors. A Green standard edition as a Single LP and a deluxe edition Orange Splatter as a 45RPM Double LP (only 500 copies).
