Impact Magazine

To begin with, Impact Magazine has published an article about Jake Bugg, it depicts him as a great singer (which it's true ^^). Again, the writer compares with other singers, I don't like that as you know, because when you label a singer as the association between Dylan and Bugg, it can be hard to remove it, but it's my opinion.
The writer talks about the fact that Jake Bugg could become 1st in the charts of Nottingham, I think he can too, I don't know if you've seen the way Jake Bugg is raising but it's lightning ! Also, we learn something really interesting, the song "Lightning Bolt" became the theme song of Usain Bolt and was played in the Olympic Stadium this summer !!

Dont' Forget, the debut album will be released the 15th October :)

PS : It seems that the Arthur's Day Festival was a great day for Jake Bugg !!

The Killers and Jake Bugg !

This is an extract from the Guardian's website about the concert of both The Killers and Jake Bugg, his performance are appreciated :)


"With his dark hair cut just so, and his anorak on indoors, up-and-coming singer-songwriter Jake Bugg recalls the young Liam Gallagher. But the hype surrounding this Nottingham teenager tilts towards the idea of Bugg as a young Noel. He writes chippy, catchy songs about masculine concerns, many of them drawn from the 60s. Two Fingers is a particularly persuasive cut from his forthcoming debut album. "I drink to remember, I smoke to forget" Bugg sings, before his bassist and drummer break into a jangly chorus that yearns for escape from the pleasures of the verses. Unsurprisingly, Noel has declared himself a fan. So Bugg is off on tour with Gallagher's High Flying Birds in Europe next month, and on to the States after that.
He is going to love America. Listening to him open for the Killers at the iTunes festival, he isn't the Noel G mini-me that his celebrity link-up suggests. Bugg is a much older soul. His voice may be reedy but it's powerful. Like the generation of Liverpool bands of 15 years ago – the Coral, the Zutons, and more recently, Miles Kane – Bugg is a young man with preternaturally antediluvian tastes. In the video for his single Lightning Bolt, released last May, he's in a record shop, leafing through the country vinyl. It ends his set tonight on a rattly high."

Lightning Bolt

This song will light up your day :) http://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/lightning-bolt-single/id519686397
Morning, it’s another pure grey morning
Don’t know what the day is holding
When I get uptight
And I walk right into the path of a lightning bolt

Sirens of an ambulance comes howling
Right through the centre of town and
No one blinks an eye
And I look up to the sky in the path of a lighting bolt

Met her as the angels parted for her
But she only brought me touture
But that’s what happens
When it’s you who’s standing in the path of a ligthning bolt

Everyone I see just wants to walk with gritted teeth
But I just stand by and I wait my time
They say you gotta tow the line they want the water not the wine
But when I see the signs I jump on that lightning bolt

Chances, people tell you not to take chances
When they tell you there aren’t any answers
And I was starting to agree
But I awoke suddenly in the path of a lightning bolt

Fortune, people talking all about fortune
Do you make it or does it just call you.
In the blinking of an eye
Just another passerby in the path of a lightning bolt

Everyone I see just wants to walk with gritted teeth
But I just stand by and I wait my time
They say you gotta tow the line they want the water not the wine
But when I see the signs I jump on that lightning bolt

It was silent, I was lying back gazing skyward
When the moment got shattered
I remembered what she said
And then she fled in the path of a lightning bolt
