The Bug Club’s newest album, Rare Birds: Hour of Song is a cheeky, DIY-influenced, hour-long spectacular. This Monmouthshire-based trio has been active this year, and this album serves as a reflection upon over a year of constant touring. With strikingly honest, yet playful lyrics in combination with catchy riffs, Rare Birds is an exciting listen. The band cites influence from groups such as The Moldy Peaches and The Kinks, and definitely don’t take themselves too seriously–self describing as “three groovy peas in a far out pod.” Rare Birds: Hour of Song is a romping time with clever lyrics, sure to bring a smile to your face and a dance in your step.
