Bug Teeth Crimewave Cracked Lime Bug Teeth

With five green bug hats peeking above the stage, Bug Teeth conjure a world just beyond reach. Oneiric, spellbinding, and insistent, harsh guitars and skittering drum and bass rhythms break through hazy ambient dreamscapes. Lyrics are direct and poetic, each song a slide beneath a microscope, examining the intimate, the infinite, and everything in between. Born from a DIY spirit, Bug Teeth began as the electronic bedroom project of front-person PJ Johnson, who self-produced spectral melodies. From these delicate, lo-fi beginnings emerged a raw, celestial sound, drawing listeners into its unique gravity. Over time, the project grew into a full band. Bug Teeth’s live performances are both fragile and ferocious, a hypnotic push and pull between distortion and stillness. Their music bends genre, pulling influences from dream pop, electronic ambience, and breakbeat to craft something that feels both weightless and deeply grounded. Their latest single, Landscaping, expanded their sonic world further, balancing beauty with abrasive grief. With consistent radio and editorial support, alongside a growing cult following, Bug Teeth continue to evolve - shapeshifting, sprawling, and spiriting listeners away into the space between waking and dreaming.

Crimewave

Often referred to as My Bloody Valentine meets Aphex Twin, Crimewave combines 90s shoe-gaze music with contemporary electronic music. Crimewave’s sound has been described as shoe-gaze 2.0. A futuristic take on an old genre, using the likes of The Jesus and Mary Chain’s wall of sound approach and cutting it up, stretching it and obscuring it in whatever way the latest technology allows.

Crimewave has supported the likes of Kim Gordon, George Clanton, The Horrors, YHWH Nailgun, Clark, ELUCID and Scaler amongst many others. Crimewave’s most recent release SCENES, was released last year on New York’s Fool’s Gold Records, the label behind artists such as Brockhampton, Danny Brown, and Palmistry. The project is conceived as a continuous DJ set, with each track bleeding seamlessly into the next. Glitched-out guitars, strobing chords and fractured breaks are utilised to convey both the euphoria of the dance floor, and the half-seen acts of criminality lurking in the club’s grimy corners.

Cracked Lime

Cracked Lime was created in early 2025. London-based, the duo spent the last year touring the city, refining their live performance, which has previously been described as “Portishead with James Bond guitar”. Expect some hypnotic existentialist spoken words, melodic interventions, noisy texture and a sharp dance-y weird rhythm section. Their debut single The Idiot was released in September 2026.
