Bug Club - Pure Particles - VINYL LP

The Bug Club's name does a good job of introducing the band & their music a tight-knit, collaborative effort focused on telling tales of the everyday that we often take for granted, shot through with humour & riffs-a-plenty.Imagine Jonathan Richman bought a really big amp & a time machine & found himself somewhere on the Nuggets compilation. Or perhaps Ray Davis palled up with Sterling Morrison, got really into The Minutemen & agreed that songs need not be longer than two minutes. Then, maybe, you're almost where the Welsh three-piece are coming from.The creative trio of Sam Willmett (guitar/vocals), Tilly Harris (bass/vocals) and Dan Matthew (drums) formed The Bug Club in 2016 in the little-known rock n' roll hotbed that is Caldicot, Monmouthshire. Following relentless gigging in their local area, The Bug Club were picked up by Bingo Records & released their first proper single - 'We Don't Need Room For Lovin' - in February 2021. It garnered immediate acclaim, with BBC 6 Music's resident tastemaker Marc Riley playing it a few times a week ever since & booking them in for a post-lockdown live session right off the bat. The announcement of the EP 'Launching Moondream One' followed - as did the of second single 'Checkmate', with which came a similar level of radio airplay. And then the same again for the EP's title track.First and foremost a live band, the band record as a group quickly, capturing the energy & sound of the gigs that make them such a popular fixture on the live circuit. Watch out for them at a gig near you soon, as bookings are coming thick and fast.RIYL The Modern Lovers, The Wave Pictures, The Vaselines, The Velvet Underground, The Kinks.1. The Word of God2.
