Bugeye

Queer alt rock

Bugeye are a queer alternative rock band from the concrete heart of Croydon, blending dirty synths, snarling guitars, pounding rhythms and irresistible hooks into a soundtrack for the outsiders. Formed by songwriter and frontwoman Angela Martin alongside lifelong friend and bassist Paula Snow, with drummer Suzy Gould and guitarist Lex Giggs completing the line-up, Bugeye have carved out a reputation for doing things entirely on their own terms. Fiercely DIY in attitude, they have built a devoted following through relentless touring, unforgettable live shows and a catalogue of socially conscious anthems. Their songs tackle everything from the absurdity of modern life to climate change, inequality and identity, wrapping sharp observations in infectious melodies that demand you dance. Blending post-punk energy with shimmering pop, they deliver music that’s equal parts rebellion and celebration. Championed by BBC Introducing, Radio X’s John Kennedy, BBC 6 Music and Amazing Radio, Bugeye have sold out headline shows, played iconic venues including KOKO and Concorde 2, appeared at the Isle of Wight Festival, and earned widespread critical acclaim. With glowing reviews from Louder Than War, Record Collector and beyond, Bugeye continue to prove that independent bands can challenge convention, build community and make music with both purpose and punch.
