Today (May 29th) is the day, people! Caldicot, Monmouthshire, Wales’ finest, The Bug Club, have released Every Single Muscle, their incredible new album on CD/LP/all DSPs worldwide from Sub Pop. The 18-track long player features approximately 18 tight, anxious, and engaging garage-punk numbers like “Watching the Omnibus,” “Yours (If You Want Me),” “A Good Day for Dying,” “Make It Count,” and “My Uncle Warren Drives a Passat.”  Every Single Muscle was produced and mixed by Tom Rees at Rat Trap Studios in Cardiff, Wales, and mastered by Mikey Young.

What People Are Saying About The Bug Club
“a near-constant stream of two-minute rippers that blend musical urgency with wicked humour and big hooks.” [Every Single Muscle] UNCUT
 
“Every Single Muscle feels a brawnier cousin of Very Human Features before it, where Sam Willmett and Tilly Harris deliver a breathless pile-up of body-based garage rock slammers, buoyed by inventive licks and a throwaway style that mocks their consistent songwriting leaps. Humor’s always been one of the band’s selling points, with characterful instrumentals managing to swerve the occasional novelty value of the lyrics; exactly where the cut-and-paste gamut of noughties’ indie bands fell short.” Treble Zine
 
“Embracing a diet closer to punk than their classic garage rock sound, Every Single Muscle comprises the same beautiful and raw poetry The Bug Club are adored for.” ★★★★ The Skinny
 
“Welsh duo The Bug Club have become one of the most reliable DIY-style indie rock groups of the last few years, and the first single from their upcoming album Every Single Muscle does not disappoint. “Watching the Omnibus” is a patented Bug Club ripper that clocks in at just over a minute, packed with hooks and self-deprecating lyrics.” “Indie Basement: Best Songs & Albums of February 2026” - BROOKLYN VEGAN
 
“There’s another Bug Club single, you see, one that finds them raucously rocking out and harmonizing like it’s the ’60s and “Twist and Shout” is next up on the setlist…see if you don’t fall in love.” [“Yours (If You Want Me)”]. STEREOGUM
