Reviews and Comments

The Bug returns with his first new music since the acclaimed release of the album “Fire” in August with the two big hitting standalone song’s ‘Treetop” and ‘Stoat,’ which feature Jason Williamson of Sleaford Mods. It’s a collaboration that feels so right you wonder how it has not happened before, but perhaps it was always meant to be released right now with the world in such flux.

Jason Williamson said of the releases…
"Both Stoat and Treetop tread the usual path lyrically for me, nonsense mixed in with little micro story’s of whatever. Excuses to get out frustrations and anger.

Bang into this collab.”

The Bug added:

And tho' it took a few years to actually realise the concept, 2021 seems like the purrrfect time in terms of global social meltdown and the release of my album 'Fire'. It’s been a joy to work with Jason on these tracks and we are already discussing the idea of more to follow…”
