The Bubs are a 10-piece jumpsuit-clad collective of artists, musicians + friends in Burlington, Vermont who serve up white-hot punk/garage rock. Since 2018 they have been sweeping everyone off their feet with catchy songs, fiery + contagious energy, and sweaty, unbridled live shows. Their music is ferocious + tender, a crooked vessel for pain, nostalgia, empowerment, and vindication. They are “trash kittens,” adorable, broken, incomplete, and dirty.
To see them perform is to witness a teetering tower of energy, careening around like a bike with no brakes, smiling through holes in their teeth, spitting out light like a broken star. Their music is sweet + powerful + profane + hopeless. The band has become a true family, built on a scaffold of love and mutual support. They take really good care of each other and of their community and give audiences + one another the freedom to experience rock-n-roll catharsis. They try too hard, they lose their voices, they break their stuff, they scream in your face, and next thing you know you’ll be screaming along with them.
