Brisbane is known for its sun, its flip flops, its XXXX Gold, and its uncanny ability to churn out infectiously catchy tunes at an alarming rate. BUGS, a trio of boyish blokes originally from the coast and now living in suburban Brisbane, are the new kids on the cul-de-sac with their fresh anthem “Neighbourhood”.
“This song is about feeling trapped by strangers and the unknown of what lurks across the fence
… as a kid I grew up in a regional surf town where we didn’t lock the doors, a man walking down the street alone wasn’t a predator to fear for children, you didn’t wear a bike helmet. I’m not necessarily sure if my attitude has changed with maturity or if the world is a bit more twisted now – people don’t seem as open as they were, our society is afraid of sharing. Giving something up voluntarily is seen as vulnerability so people don’t take the chance.” – Connor Brooker
