The bug club - Concert / Indie rock

Show & Culture

Initially comprising the songwriting core of Sam Willmett (vocals/​guitar) and Tilly Harris (vocals/​bass) with Dan Matthew (drums), The Bug Club started plying their trade in 2016. Their single ​‘We Don’t Need Room For Lovin’ was released in February 2021, followed by EP Launching Moondream One. It quickly established The Bug Club as the tongue-in-cheek and live-focused antidote to the previous year’s penned-in pandemic drudgery. On their latest album, Every Single Muscle, The Bug Club seem almost suspicious of the concept of being a person, as if they’ve woken up in a costume they didn’t want to put on and cannot take off. But beyond the irony and the catchy one-lines ​“lies a group with impressive chops who can pull off this jagged post-punk as seamlessly as sugary indie pop.” (Uncut)
