Ugly But Honest is the first studio album by indie rock band Carissa's Wierd. Originally released by Brown Records in 1999, the album is a collection of songs and demos ranging from 1996 to 1999. A decade later, the album was re-released in 2010 by the American independent record label Hardly Art.
Pitchfork critic Stephen M. Deusner believes the album "sounds less a debut by a young band and more like the work of seasoned professionals with too many shows at too many half-filled venues under its belt." The Daily of the University of Washington author Luke Whittleton states that the intimate and raw nature of Ugly But Honest quietly influenced 2000's indie-folk music as a whole.
