Uglor was a hardcore punk band founded in 1986 in El Paso, Texas by Chris "Vytore" Everblue (guitar and vocals), Sander "Skaj" Starr (bass and vocals), and Hedona "Grant Slam" Dorian (drums and vocals). Later members include Stevo-Cide Saunders (guitar and art) and Skwid (vocals and art). Uglor played numerous shows around Texas and New Mexico, playing with bands such as the Rhythm Pigs, MDC, JFA, Verbal Abuse, and Operation Ivy. Uglor recorded two demos in El Paso and distributed them through friends strictly by word of mouth. Uglor was known for their DIY ethic by printing flyers, stickers, and cassette covers, dubbing off demo tapes, and designing and silkscreening their t-shirts themselves. Stevo-cide tattooed all the band members, and many friends with his original artwork. He was also known for his elaborate and highly detailed art he air-brushed on the leather jackets of many punks in the El Paso scene. Uglor broke up in 1990 just after recording their first full length CD entitled "the Wild Boar". The recording was never officially released, but was briefly available in bootleg cassette form by Eyespider Records.
