Greg Valencia had certainly left his mark on the East Bay punk scene as the guitarist for GRIMPLE, ELDOPA, and WATCH THEM DIE. His time here was ending around 2009, as he was due to move back to his hometown of Santa Fe. However, Greg had one more record for the East Bay—the BORN UGLYS 7-inch. WORD SALAD bassist Dutch Worthington and drummer Jason Willer of ALARIC pitched in to give Greg a proper send-off. This record is a nice return to the catchy, melodic punk sounds that made GRIMPLE’s Up Your Ass album an East Bay classic. Three originals and an obscure LOGICAL NONSENSE cover that leave you wanting more, especially during Greg’s finest “throat full of glass” moments.
