Brisbane trio Bugs are back with their new single “Decisions, Commitments & Plans.” A live favourite (remember when we could see bands live?!), this song starts fairly mellow for a Bugs track before erupting with raw emotion around the two-minute mark. It’s a trip!
“I wanted to write a song that talks about the chaotic emotional pressure of making choices, one that represents the full spectrum of confusion that comes to mind when faced with evolving responsibility and change-forced growth,” explained frontman Connor Brooker. “It can be daunting (or empowering) when you realise you’re the one writing your own script; but with more gained wisdom you learn to realise you’re not alone in that journey. It’s okay to be afraid, we all get scared sometimes.”
The band intends to wrap up their sold-out “Diamond” single tour in Melbourne later this month. Whether it happens or not, it’s all sold out so if you missed out on tickets, it’s time to look at the next thing. If you’re craving some live Bugs, you can (hopefully) catch them at the following shows:
16 October 2021 – STONEFEST, Canberra
6 November 2021 – Open Season @ The Princess Theatre, Brisbane
