About The Amber Bugs

No man is one thing. We're sons, brothers, partners, workers, nerds and rock stars. All at once, not in part, but fully. And that's what you get with The Amber Bugs. A whole bunch of stuff crammed together, busting at the seams. Unapologetically hard to pin down but all the more real for it.

Is emo-ska-indie-punk a genre? if it is The Amber Bugs are that... sometimes... when they're not shoehorning in lindy-hop, beat poetry, jazz or whatever else they can cram into three-and-a-half-minute pop songs.

The Amber Bugs Live

Live sets are a rollercoaster ride. They're a tour through the entire spectrum of human emotion. Sweeping up audiences with their raw intensity. Exhilarating, bouncy highs are mixed with contemplative lows and amidst it all, there are moments that can only be described as sublime, where the boundaries between band and audience blur, creating an immersive experience that lingers long after the last note fades
