After 4+ wonderful years it’s time for us to move on from @thebugclubband - we’ve had an amazing journey and learnt so much about working with a band with a DIY work ethic. Thanks so much to Tilly & Sam (& Ted ❤️) for having us along for the ride and good luck with the constant touring & recording in the future.
Thanks also to everyone who has supported us since 2021: including Matthew ‘Matt’ Cooper (never a day off!), Marc Riley (without whom….), @daaniels95@tomreesproducer@subpop@bingorecs@wearebusybodies@groundcontroltouring , the Beggars radio team, @glowartists_@hello.mr.ben@printbunkeruk@coveylaw@musicboxstudioscardiff@chyxtea@adamthomaswalton@bethdentonsound@atease and many, many more that we’ll add as we edit this message over the next 24 hours! RIP to Auntie Janice Long who was an early supporter of the band too. ❤️
Cheers to all the amazing independent promoters and venues who continually supported us and always welcomed us back. We NEVER played a headline show in a corporately owned venue in that time or paid any merch commission which we’re extremely proud of and thankful for.
Finally, thank you to ALL the fans Claire and I met up with on the road at the merch desk. This was always the best bit of the job and I sincerely hope that our paths cross again at future random shows.

JUST ANNOUNCED: we made it to a second pressing on the Daniel Johnston ‘Love Lives Forever (BBC Sessions 2003-11)’. This time it will be available on red vinyl AND through many UK indie stores from 4th July onwards. ***pre-order link in bio***
Would there be any interest in me posting up the original ‘rejected’ video of ‘Invalid Litter Dept’ by At The Drive-In? This was the Anton Corbijn version that the band really didn’t like. One of the hardest rejection conversations I’ve EVER had to make. As far as I’m aware there were only two copies made of it.
pre-order the ‘Good Credit’ EP by Cheap Feel on @bandcamp released on 21st Nov. The band headline @mothclub with a free show on Tue 25th Nov and play a live session for @marcrileydj on his @bbc6music show on Wed 26th.
