The Bug Club’s name does a good job of introducing the band and their music: a tight-knit, collaborative effort focussed on telling tales of the everyday that we often take for granted, shot through with humour and riffs-a-plenty.
Comprising the creative duo of Sam Willmett (guitar/vocals) and Tilly Harris (bass/vocals), The Bug Club formed in 2016 in the little-known rock n' roll hotbed that is Caldicot, Monmouthshire. The band were signed by Bingo Records and released their first single 'We Don’t Need Room For Lovin’ in 2021. EPs ‘Launching Moondream One’ and ‘Pure Particles’ followed, along with standalone releases ‘Intelectuals’ and ‘Two Beauties’, building up to the debut album ‘Green Dream in F#’ in 2022 and 'Rare Birds' in 2023.
2024 saw the band sign to Sub Pop Records and release 'On The Intricate Inner Workings Of The System' as their debut release with them. 'Very Human Features' is the continuation of this partnership, and is another witty whirlwind from the band.
