The Bubs (w/ The Daily Deadlys)

The Bubs are a 10-piece collective of artists, musicians and friends from Burlington, Vermont who serve up a catchy, passionate blend of punk and garage rock. Since they formed in 2018, their fiery, contagious energy and sweaty, unbridled, off-the-rails live shows have captured the hearts and minds of their community. Their music is ferocious yet tender, a crooked vessel for beauty, empowerment, and catharsis.

The Bubs rock through pain, frustration, fun, and relationship with each other. To see them perform is to witness a teetering tower of energy, strapped to wheels and careening around like a bike with no brakes, smiling through the holes in their teeth, spitting out light like a broken star. Their music is sweet and powerful and profane and hopeless. In the midst of the hugeness and the explosiveness and the ferocity, the band has become a true family, built on a scaffold of love and mutual support. They try too hard, they lose their voices, they break their stuff, they scream in your face, and the next thing you know you’ll be pickled in fire, smiling like a brave child, screaming along with them.
