Jake Bugg

Zombieland

Ashburn

Raised on a steady diet of <a href="spotify:artist:3WrFJ7ztbogyGnTHbHJFl2">the Beatles</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:74ASZWbe4lXaubB36ztrGX">Bob Dylan</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:776Uo845nYHJpNaStv1Ds4">Jimi Hendrix</a>, and the brothers <a href="spotify:artist:2DaxqgrOhkeH0fpeiQq2f4">Gallagher</a>, English singer/songwriter Jake Bugg's bluesy, Brit-pop-forward indie folk pairs working-class swagger with wry, weathered romanticism. He found success in 2012 with his Mercury Prize-nominated eponymous debut album, which included the hit singles "Two Fingers" and "Lightning Bolt." He continued to develop his sound on subsequent efforts like the <a href="spotify:artist:1EpmQFTiJbcxzwbLpuUL8L">Rick Rubin</a>-produced Shangri La (2013) and the <a href="spotify:artist:6YWdHD3R863Apw1hkx3BwC">Dan Auerbach</a>-produced Hearts That Strain (2017), introducing elements of country-rock and Americana into the mix. In 2021, he embraced a hooky blend of pop/rock with Saturday Night, Sunday Morning. The album cracked the top Ten in the U.K. and paved the way for 2024's A Modern Day Distraction.

Born in Nottingham, Bugg picked up the guitar at the age of 12, and within a year he was composing his own songs. Disinterested in the hip-hop and grime that dominated the listening habits of his peers, he turned to the classics for inspiration. Bugg's first brush with recognition came at the age of 17, when a local DJ began spinning one of the cuts he uploaded to BBC Introducing, a program that supports "unsigned, undiscovered, and under-the-radar musicians." An invitation to play Glastonbury arrived shortly thereafter, and before he knew it, he was supporting acts like <a href="spotify:artist:00FQb4jTyendYWaN8pK0wa">Lana Del Ray</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:6Vh6UDWfu9PUSXSzAaB3CW">Example</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:0bzfPKdbXL5ezYW2z3UGQj">Michael Kiwanuka</a>, and had inked a deal with <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Mercury%22">Mercury</a>. His first single, "Lightning Bolt," arrived in early 2012, while his debut, the eponymously titled Jake Bugg, appeared in October of the same year and featured production work from former <a href="spotify:artist:3rIZMv9rysU7JkLzEaC5Jp">Snow Patrol</a> collaborator <a href="spotify:artist:5HjQF3JxGmwvLYz06WemNn">Iain Archer</a>. 

In a whirlwind year, Bugg went on to tour extensively across the U.K. while receiving nominations for awards, including a Brit Award for Best British Newcomer and the coveted Mercury Music Prize. In the summer of 2013, Bugg traveled to Malibu to record sessions for his sophomore record, Shangri La, with legendary producer <a href="spotify:artist:1EpmQFTiJbcxzwbLpuUL8L">Rick Rubin</a>. The record again featured contributions from <a href="spotify:artist:5HjQF3JxGmwvLYz06WemNn">Archer</a> and was released in November of 2013. A five-song EP, Messed Up Kids, appeared in 2014. Re-entering the studio that same year, Bugg set about recording what would become his third album. Over a year in the making, On My One -- produced in part by <a href="spotify:artist:1fixTBy0r22vTuK2sQNAqY">Jacknife Lee</a> -- saw release in June 2016. A year later, he returned with Hearts That Strain, recorded in Nashville. Included on the album was the single "How Soon the Dawn," a collaboration with <a href="spotify:artist:7mnBLXK823vNxN3UWB7Gfz">the Black Keys</a>' <a href="spotify:artist:6YWdHD3R863Apw1hkx3BwC">Dan Auerbach</a>. 

Bugg returned in late 2019 with the blazing country-rock single "Kiss Like the Sun," followed the subsequent year by "Saviours of the City," "Rabbit Hole," and "All I Need." His fifth album, the Steve Mac-produced Saturday Night, Sunday Morning, was his first on new label <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22RCA%22">RCA</a>, and arrived in August 2021. It peaked at number three on the U.K. Albums chart. A twangy, rock-heavy single, "Zombieland," arrived in 2024 ahead of the full-length A Modern Day Distraction. ~ James Christopher Monger, Rovi

This guy is so good and that's coming from a miserable old twat what stopped listening to any music after the 90s. Long live Jake Bugg,

Jake is such a genius. Been into his music for a long time now

Thank you random TV advertisement that made me discover this song :D

I really dig this kid, kinda reminds me of Bob Dylan.

saw him Live at Albert Hall last night.Stunning show, truly impressive. If you get the chance to see him live, dont blink, just buy yourself an evening of great music

I can&#39;t believe this is only a two year old song (and not even that), I thought it was like a 30 year old song at least o.O

I can't believe this is only a two year old song (and not even that), I thought it was like a 30 year old song at least o.O

Refreshing to hear some real talent from the younger generation. Awesome. 

Brilliant song, brilliantly sung. Great choice for  &quot;Happy Valley&quot; series

Brilliant song, brilliantly sung. Great choice for  "Happy Valley" series

Wow!!! I just started watching Happy Valley and I had to look up the title song, it is so good! Never in my life would I have expected a 17-year old lad to be the artist behind this brilliant song. Totally blown away!

I love the song ever since  I found it on Happy Valley and Jake&#39;s voice is brilliant very old school!

I love the song ever since  I found it on Happy Valley and Jake's voice is brilliant very old school!

He looks a lot like a young Keith Richards. Very refreshing to see a talented kid like him.  He has the musical maturity not seen in your typical teen.

I just love the tone of his voice!!!!!!!!!!!!

I dont understand how this kid isnt huge.  I mean Im glad he isnt in a way.  But man, what a talented kid.

In the 90&#39;s he would have been an idol

Jake himself revealed that this was just a run-through when they were recording - and it was perfect, so they used it.THAT&#39;s how bloody good he is.

It&#39;s amazing to think he recorded this in 2011 when he was around 17,  amazing song writer and singer.

Always remember to come back to Jake Bugg. Real music never die, friends

he is so underatted to the point it hurts

He is so underrated, and it’s sad. I’m acc so hyper to see Jake in 2022 (next year). It’ll be my first concert ever!

Minimum showmanship, maximum talent, truly unique.

the lyrics in this, I think he&#39;s one of the greatest songwriters at the moment and that voice is so unique, great lad!

His voice is so pure and raw it draws you in.

This song makes me fall in love every. damn. time.

If you didn&#39;t feel like crying at some point listening to this, you&#39;re lying.

If you didn't feel like crying at some point listening to this, you're lying.

This kids golden. Bringing back real music! well done kid! In this day and age??!! well done!

He is brave enough to express and tell stories about his life, and that is amazing at such a young age. Shows a lot of maturity and courage, plus also confidence in what he does.

Zombieland Lyrics:
He’s waking up still half asleep
Outside the street lights flicker
He lights a smoke before he leaves 
Another day without a dream
He works his fingers to the bone
Just to feed the meter
And it's so dark when he gets home
The only life he’ll ever know
Round and round it goes again
Everyday just looks the same
A broken man in Zombieland
He knows the price he has to pay
It hurts but he’s too proud to say
Does all he can in Zombieland
He turns the key and locks the door 
Turns up the TV louder
The neighbours fighting through the wall 
Don’t that just top it all?
And every hand he’s tried to play
He’s got the joker, not the ace
And now he’s too tired to escape
How can he get out of this place?
Round and round it goes again
Everyday just looks the same
A broken man, in Zombieland
He knows the price he has to pay
It hurts but he’s too proud to say
Does all he can in Zombieland
Round and round it goes again
Does all he can in Zombieland
