The Scumbugs - Bugging Out With... The Scumbugs (Screaming Apple Records 2015)



Screaming Apple Records release another absolute monster GaragePunk Scorcher.  Let's FACE it, you could get hit by a BUS tomorrow! Don't be a total dipshit and miss out on all the funtastic joy and exitement that all the other kids are getting from this great Long Player.

BUZZFUELED INSECT RIOT ROCK AND ROLL! STRICTLY FOR DANCING OR BUGGING OUT YOUR SQUARE-ASS NEIGHBOURS.

These five, fly-faced primates hail from a dirty basement smack in the middle of Bergen, Norway. And they only have one agenda: make you stop, stare, stomp your feet, spill your beer and leave you with a permanent buzz ringing in your ear. The Scumbugs play straight forward fuzz and organ driven garagepunk, spiced up with some wailing harmonica and demented lyrics. Top that off with a bucket of earworm hooks designed to stick in your brain and destroy your frontal lobe. Cause this is primitive instinct rock and roll, catchy and infectious.

Based on pure passion, joy and aggression with no room whatsoever for intellectual stimulation. These flies have been on the wall of all the "BACK FROM THE GRAVE" and "TEENAGE SHUTDOWN" recordings, sucking it all up to spew out their own brand in 2015. If you imagine THE MIRACLE WORKERS and THE BRANDED both in a fight with THE MUMMIES! Or THE SONICS drunk on strychnine going wild wild wild in the bed with LES SEXAREENOS. That's a pointer towards their sound.

"Bugging out with…" is their first longplayer, presenting 12 homemade nuggets reeking of the budget rock, no hit protopunk and raunchy r’n’b that the band was born and bred on. This is a platter for the permanent party, a band only a motherf****r could love. 
So don’t cheat yourself by missing out on this must have for the wild and outrageous music lover.  Prehistoric sounds from the caves of Norway. Yabba Dabba Dooh!
