It’s been a whole seven months since their last. Where have they been?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eEvery Single Muscle\u003c\/i\u003e, the band’s fifth LP, arrives \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eMay 29th, 2026\u003c\/span\u003e via Sub Pop, making it a hat-trick for the Welsh duo and their esteemed Seattle-based patrons. Since \u003ci\u003eVery Human Features\u003c\/i\u003e, which emerged in June of 2025, the non-stop tour has seen the BBC 6 Music and KEXP favourites ping-pong across the Atlantic like they used to the Severn Bridge. Various festival slots in the summer kept them from having any sort of holiday - who needs one when you live in Wales anyway? - until it was time to head back to the writing room.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eSo that answers that first question. Not that you’d have otherwise known. Ever self-effacing, songwriters Sam (guitar, vocals) and Tilly (bass, vocals) go as far as to claim that they’ve been sitting around ‘doing nothing at all’ during track ‘It’s Our Manager David’. That’s clearly a lie. \u003ci\u003eEvery Single Muscle\u003c\/i\u003e gets off to a full-throttle, chugging start with \u003ci\u003eMiss Wales 2012\u003c\/i\u003e, referencing a competition both Tilly and Sam have actually won. Dead serious. It’s the first of many sub-two-minute tracks on the album, setting the tone for The Bug Club’s punkiest offering yet and recalling both the short, sharp snaps of their very first singles and the grunt of recent releases. So packed is the album with wall-to-wall riffs and lyrical hooks rammed into tight confines that Sam actually asks permission to squeeze in a solo during second track ‘A Good Day For Dying’. He’s given two seconds.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eNot that we’re short-changed though, because Sam asks again later on and is granted more. Across eighteen tunes there’s enough classic Sam\/Tilly guitar interplay to satisfy even the most vociferous Bug Club club member and firmly refute the band’s own claim that they are only ‘just about technically proficient on our instruments’. ‘Full Range of Motion’ has a choppy rhythm that sits atop drummer Tom’s tight beat and serves to remind us all of Minutemen, for a minute. ‘Make It Count’ brings sweet melody and call and response, while ‘All My Clothes Fell Off’ allows for a slower paced ballad that builds to a crescendo that would not be out of place in the world of classic rock. ‘Cut To Black’ combines a Sparks-esque falsetto and Tilly’s melodic bass playing with a rhythm something close-ish to what Klaus Dinger used to do for Neu! And closer ‘My Uncle Warren Drives A Passat’ sees them doing a bit of a left turn and swapping out guitars for keys. This record’s an exercise in efficient maximalism - the musical equivalent of your dad packing the car for a holiday. Bring what you like; space is tight but they’ll get it in there somehow.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eOn to the words, because with these guys those are important. While \u003ci\u003eVery Human Features\u003c\/i\u003e did an excellent job of pointing at everyday things and highlighting their absurdity, on \u003ci\u003eEvery Single Muscle\u003c\/i\u003e The Bug Club look more closely at themselves. Not so much in an introspective way, though. More in a way an alien might probe a captive specimen on an intergalactic gurney. Horror movies get their ‘body’ subgenre, now garage rock albums get theirs too. Self-interested in an entirely new sense of the term, the human form and condition is prodded and inspected from every angle throughout the course of the album. ‘Look Like Me’ sees them singing about their own appearance, while on ‘How Can We Be Friends’ they are preoccupied with others’. ‘Every Single Muscle’ itemises organs as if they belong on a shopping list, and both ‘Make It Count’ and ‘Pretty As A Magazine’ bemoan the fact people don’t know what to do with their own bodies. Altogether, we get a sense of surreal detachment from the self that sets up the ever-present ennui-laden humour; the last song sees Sam announce he’s ‘bored of being human’. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eInitially 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. They were signed by UK label Bingo Records in Autumn 2020 and first single 'We Don’t Need Room For Lovin’ was released in February 2021, followed by EP \u003ci\u003eLaunching Moondream One\u003c\/i\u003e. It quickly established The Bug Club as the tongue-in-cheek and live-focused antidote to the previous year’s penned-in pandemic drudgery.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eBBC 6 Music’s Marc Riley was an early champion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003ci\u003ePure Particles \u003c\/i\u003efollowed, whose vinyl release included a board game brimming with cult references. Fed up with the conventional approach they then released ‘Intelectuals’: a standalone track that was actually a five-track ‘song suite’ like some kind of streaming-model-snubbing, Telecaster-bashing answer to Bach. Highbrow musos took a lyrical beating for the ages. Second standalone release ‘Two Beauties’ marked release number two for 2022 and built up to the appearance of debut album \u003ci\u003eGreen Dream in F#\u003c\/i\u003e by October. The following January they decided to pull their fingers out, get some disguises and support themselves on tour as Mr Anyway’s Holey Spirits. A live album documented this, then they got abstract with titles and put out picture disc \u003ci\u003ePicture This!\u003c\/i\u003e. By the autumn of 2023 it was time for forty-seven track, poetry-infused double album \u003ci\u003eRare Birds: Hour of Song\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eDuring a trip to America they caught the eye of Sub Pop, just in time to get them on board to serve up a beefy slab of garage-punk on \u003ci\u003eOn The Inner Workings Of The System\u003c\/i\u003e, gaining an appropriately beefed-up stateside following in the process. The partnership proved fruitful, and with Sup Pop firmly in The Bug Club club they got cracking on \u003ci\u003eVery Human Features\u003c\/i\u003e. Is three the magic number? Probably not. But \u003ci\u003eEvery Single Muscle \u003c\/i\u003e-\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003enumber three for The Bug Club and Sub Pop - certainly comes close enough to convince your average strange human person that it might be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_linksLayer_1ythq_40\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Boojums\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eFormed in late 2024 and known for uploading fuzzed-out live VHS tapes to Reddit, Instagram and YouTube, \u003cstrong\u003eThe Boojums\u003c\/strong\u003e have quickly built a reputation for their refreshingly raw and unfiltered sound—equal parts nostalgic and forward-looking.
