PEOPLE R UGLY.

What problem does the PEOPLE R UGLY website solve?

1. For who

   Artists and fans who need an owned house — tour, merch, catalogue — not a link-in-bio.

2. What this made possible

   Fans find People R Ugly on platforms the band does not own, so the site is the one surface that holds them — the album, the videos and the dates in a single place that routes to streams and tickets instead of back into a feed.

3. The problem

   A SoCal alt-pop quartet working a debut album and tour cycle, selling to listeners who arrive from streaming and social. Without a destination they control, catalogue, tickets, press and booking stay scattered, and every click leaks attention back to the algorithm that sent it.

4. The approach

   Acid-green neo-brutalist type and hard offset shadows so the brand lands before the copy does; opposing scroll directions on the tagline typography; a sticky streaming embed that keeps the record playing while fans move through music, shows and media.

5. What shipped

   Live at peoplerugly.netlify.app on REACT + VITE · MOTION.
