Jake Bugg
Did somebody say Bob Dylan? Possibly. Jake Bugg pitches his voice up and down in the same way the young Robert Zimmerman did. But Bugg is far more than a wannabe: he started to write songs at the age of 14, played at Glastonbury when he was 17 and in autumn, when he will be 18 years old, he will release his first record. Wild guitars, haunting vocals and strong songs such as “Lightning Bolt” will be just some of the things you’ll be able to discover on his debut.
Despite the first impression, Jake Bugg’s songs prove that this young man wasn't born into the wrong era and he wouldn't prefer to hang out with Dylan, Hendrix, The Beatles or Donovan. No, Bugg makes contemporary music. Even though his old heroes manage to shimmer through in songs like “Trouble Town” or “Country Song”, Jake Bugg manages to unite retrospective and modern coolness.
