Jake Bugg - Lightning Bolt

This dude is cool. He has 2 albums out and he's 17. He's got a song Lightning Bolt with a lyric about sirens in it. It's a great song plus he's got a bunch of other cool ones.

me and you, messed up kids (which Pearl Jam should cover) sounds so Eddie, plus Kitchen Table (great song), and Kingpin (real cool).

If you like sort of acoustic rock you'll love this dude. Check him out.
I found my place......and it's alright

  • I really love his stuff but every interview I've read over the last few years on him makes me think he is seriously a big time dork. Kind of weird... But still great music.

    I like his first album a bit better but I'm still expecting a monster discography when things are said and done. He's on the right track.

  • Thanks Tino. Will let you all know how he was! I heard he was a bit of a twat on Graham Norton show, he's still so young it will be interesting to watch his career progression.
