Hidden Herd Presents: BUG TEETH

Born from a DIY spirit, Leeds-based Bug Teeth began as the electronic bedroom project of PJ Johnson before evolving into a full band. Drawing on dream pop, ambient electronics and fractured breakbeats, Bug Teeth craft songs that feel hazy, immersive and hard to pin down. Their debut album, ‘Micrographia’, expands this world further, balancing beauty with abrasion and grief. Described as a “practically flawless debut album” by Far Out Magazine and “one of the finest British debuts of the year” by Loud and Quiet, ‘Micrographia’ has been acclaimed by critics and fans alike, earning support from BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 6 Music, BBC Music Introducing, DIY, The Line of Best Fit, Clash Magazine, KEXP and Notion. Bug Teeth’s live performances drift between fragile stillness and bursts of distortion. They’ve played sold-out shows alongside the likes of English Teacher, bdrmm, Melody’s Echo Chamber, The Orielles and deathcrash, as well as appearing at festivals including Latitude, The Great Escape, Live at Leeds, Wild Paths, Deer Shed and Wanderlust. They were also one of four artists selected from a pool of thousands of submissions for this year’s End of the Road Next Wave programme. With a growing cult following, Bug Teeth continue to shapeshift and draw listeners into their ever-expanding sonic world. + Moon Idle + Jonique + Half Star
