Aural Aggravation

Following the release of their raging & explosive debut EP Triple Death, East Yorkshire based noise punks Bug Facer are back with penetrating new single ‘Fiery Demon Attacks Old Man On Bridge’ – a Tolkien-esque fantasy garage punk track heavily inspired by The Lord of the Rings, that started life as a riff & a shout!

Released on Hull based label Warren Records, ‘Fiery Demon Attacks Old Man On Bridge’ is the first track to be written by their new 4-piece line-up & was produced by local indie ‘master of the faders’ Adam Pattrick.

The track follows a fellowship’s passage through an old mine infested with Goblins & Orcs who battle with an aged wizard & the Demon of Hellfire. As always, the release offers an insight into the band’s overarching concept around their music, in which they aim to deafen audiences with pure primal musical grit & emotion!

The band say of the release “We wrote a track like this because as a band we don’t necessarily take ourselves too seriously. Music is about creativity & having fun, not every track has to have subliminal meaning. Just have a bit of fun!”

Listen to ‘Fiery Demon Attacks Old Man On Bridge’ here:

Bug Facer was formed after long-term friends James Cooper (guitar) and Will Longton (drums/vocals) left their previous band Woodlouse, a psychedelic progressive rock act, wanting to explore a darker tone, delve into primal rhythms & strip back their sound. Through interactions on the local music scene, the band next recruited Tom Steel on bass & vocals plus Josh Burdett on guitar which brought an extra layer of grit & warmth to their already huge sound. Taking inspiration from bands like Thee Oh Sees, The Jesus Lizard, Tropical Fuck Storm, Sepultura, Code Orange, Slint & Black Country New Road they began jamming, adopting a trance like approach in rehearsals, waiting for moments of magic to appear from the darkness.

Describing themselves as a noise punk band forged from sand & broken glass, ready to make some music for cave people to grind bones, gnaw at rocks & howl around a fire pit to, Bug Facer’s scratchy fuzz dissonance is born from an ancient primordial power & their goal is to rattle the bones of anyone within a thousand-mile radius.

With a growing number of gigs at Hull’s New Adelphi Club their vision is fast becoming reality… & talking of visions, when band member Will was a young lad he thought he saw the ghost of Michael Jackson, only to find out later that day that Jackson had indeed died!
