So maybe this shouldn't even be an introducing article, because i'm sure that there are a lot of people who know the name Jake Bugg, but this guy has managed to astound me as much as he has made me jealous over the past 2 months. as his name's been flying about.
Jake Bugg has the perfect life. He is only 18. He's toured with Noel Gallagher. He's had a few appearances on the famous 'Later with Jools Holland'. Just basically pretty much everything any lad would want at his age. With his quirky lyrics, simple, effective guitar riffs and retro style, he has managed to worm his way into the music scene. His very unique style has hints of Bob Dylan, Oasis and the world renowned Beatles which I guess make him stand out as much as he does. His unmistaken sound, on tracks such as 'Lightning Bolt' and 'Two Fingers', have given him the edge on most up and coming bands that are appearing.
I've seen raving reviews off NME and XFM, which on most occasions are not that wrong, and with his miles kane like tracks their opinion hasn't been proven any different. Jake is seen as a kid thats going far and everyone is sure that he will make it in this business (as he is already on his way). In my opinion he has the working and musical talents of a young Alex Turner. He has that raw edge that Turner and the Arctic Monkeys brought to the table in 'Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not'. Maybe Jake's debut will be that career turning point that made Arctic Monkeys what they are (maybe not that extensive), so i guess we will have to wait and see.
His album is due out on monday, which is very eagerly awaited by myself and many other people. Were all waiting to see what he gives us which i'm sure will be nothing less than the mini-masterpiece's he has already portrayed. So go and buy it.
