Australia can’t get enough of Bugs – with a triple j Hottest 200 appearance and an incredibly well-received Like A Version debut ringing in the new year for the Brissy trio, they’ve returned in full force today with their first single of 2020 – ‘Can’t Get Enough’. The single drops ahead of Bugs’ national run in support of fellow Brisbane rockers WAAX, and hints at the possibility of a third studio album.
Thundering and brisk, ‘Can’t Get Enough’ comes in at just under three minutes, ensuring that replay button will be well and truly put through its paces. Frontman Connor Brooker explains the meaning behind the track evolved during the writing process:
“When I first started writing the song, it was specifically about attention in an intimate context – aka SEX – but as it evolved I felt like it better suited a broader representation of greed in modern society. So it’s about the cycle of how our entitlement feeds our addiction, leading us in the pursuit of an unattainable goal or horizon.
“If you’re searching for something better, that implies you don’t appreciate the things that you have. Maybe the grass looks greener on the other side because you haven’t watered your yard..? I guess I just wished people were more mindful of their vices, and how they affect their choices, myself included.”
