The Bug Club – Every Single Muscle
Embracing a diet closer to punk than their classic garage rock sound, Every Single Muscle comprises the same beautiful and raw poetry The Bug Club are adored for
Not even a full year since releasing their last LP, The Bug Club have re-emerged with a set of shorter and snappier songs. Certainly the band has been doing more than sitting around plucking away on their guitars. Which is much more than they’d like you to believe on the track It’s Our Manager David. ‘He wants to know all the things we’ve been filling our days with / But we’ve been doing nothing at all’, Sam Willmett and Tilly Harris sing in unison as the drums speed up behind them. Akin to the Ramones ballad, Danny Says, about their own manager Danny Fields, The Bug Club rendition creates a bittersweet feeling tied to the annoyance of having to explain beyond, as they put it, ‘We’re just about technically proficient on our instruments / We’re just about happy with our lot’.
Embracing a diet closer to punk than their classic garage rock sound, Every Single Muscle comprises the same beautiful and raw poetry Willmett (vocals/guitar) and Harris (vocals/bass) are adored for writing; the duo have merely adjusted the tempo and kilter of their riffs to reflect their new project's faster pace.
