Red / Orange Marbled Vinyl. "On the Intricate Inner Workings of the System" ist das zweite Album von The Bug Club und enthält das bereits veröffentlichte Highlight "Quality Pints" sowie weitere Wohlfühl-Songs wie "War Movies", "A Bit Like James Bond", "We Don't Care About That" und "Lonsdale Slipons". Die Platte erscheint als "Red & Orange Marbled Vinyl" LP. Auf "On the Intricate Inner Workings of the System" serviert die Band eine kräftige Portion ihres typischen Modern-Lovers-meets-Nuggets-Garagenrocks, bei dem sich B-52's "Call-and-Response"-Spaß mit AC/DC-Powerchord-Grunzen mischt. Die Eröffnungs-Doppelsalve "War Movies" und das zuvor veröffentlichte "Quality Pints" lehnen sich an den rasanten Punk an und geben den Ton an: Zweistimmige Pisserei, surreale Betrachtungen alltäglicher Themen, die den Kreis schließen und tiefgründig werden, Riffs den ganzen Tag lang und dann auch den ganzen nächsten Tag. "Quality Pints" befasst sich mit den dringenden Sorgen jeder gewissenhaften tourenden Band und beherzigt die Regel der drei R's, die von Mark E Smith von The Fall, einem berühmten Fan von Pints, aufgestellt wurde. Repetition, Repetition, Repetition. Wiederholungen also. Wenn es so wichtig ist, und das ist es, lohnt es sich, es noch einmal zu sagen. "War Movies" verbindet verzerrtes Tuckern mit einer umfassenden Best-Of-Liste des Genres, und Sam Willmett bietet ein Solo, das so lässig herausgeschleudert wird, dass dein Vater seine wiederaufkeimenden Ambitionen als Gitarrist sofort aufgeben wird. Die Melodie ist immer noch allgegenwärtig, und das witzig-metaphorische "Pop Single" zeigt Ray Davies von seiner selbstbewusstesten Seite. Wer nach einer Pop-Single fragt, bekommt sie auch - The Bug Club lassen sich nicht lumpen. Und es ist diese selbstbewusst alberne Art, die uns "Lonsdale Slipons" beschert, in dem endlich den schlechtesten Schuhen Großbritanniens in Songform Tribut gezollt wird, und "We Don't Care About That", das uns allen sagt, wir sollen aufhören, über viele Dinge zu reden. Du überlegst, ob du eine vorläufige Rezension über das, was du gerade hörst, verfassen sollst? Hör auf damit. "Better Than Good" hat dich auch hier im Griff. Du bekommst, was du bekommst, und zum Glück scheint jeder damit zufrieden zu sein - vor allem mit der Lo-Fi-Produktion, dem Violent-Femmes-Bass und dem Sterling-Morrison-Solo dieses Tracks. Am besten überlässt man die heißen Takes The Bug Club, meinen wir. Diese Platte gibt uns Recht. Red & Orange marbled vinyl. The way you're saying it, "prolific" isn't the right word for The Bug Club. You've got to say it with the trademark Welsh lilt and pay due homage to this inimitable band's origins in the renowned hit factory of Caldicot, South Wales. Do that, and you're about right with how to summarize a group who've released ten singles, two albums, two EPs, three things nobody knew how to describe, and an album under a different band's name, all since 2021, and while playing 200+ gigs a year. Initially comprising the songwriting core of Sam Willmett (vocals/guitar) and Tilly Harris (vocals/bass) with Dan Matthew (drums), The Bug Club started plying their trade in 2016. They were signed by UK label Bingo Records in Autumn of 2020. BBC 6 Music's Marc Riley was an early champion, hammering the single, booking the band in for a session as soon as it was allowed, and rightfully praising songwriters capable of singing the whole alphabet in a two-minute song and making it work. Third LP On The Intricate Inner Workings Of The System - their first for Sub Pop - sees the band serve up a beefy slab of their speciality Modern-Lovers-meets-Nuggets garage rock. There's B-52's call-and-response fun mixed with AC/DC power chord grunt. Leaning towards fast-paced punk, opening double salvo "War Movies" and "Quality Pints" sets out the stall: duel vocal piss-taking, surreal takes on everyday topics that go full circle and become profound, riffs all day long and then all the next day too. "Quality Pints" deals with the pressing concerns of any conscientious touring outfit, taking to heart the rule of the three R's as penned by renowned fellow pints fan Mark E. Smith of The Fall. Repetition, repetition, repetition. If it's that important, which it is, it's worth saying again. "War Movies" dresses distorted chugging with a comprehensive 'best of' list for the genre, with Sam Willmett offering a solo casually chucked out in a way that will make your dad promptly give up any resurgent guitar playing ambitions. And "A Bit Like James Bond" tackles the UK's sleaziest undercover export at the same time as the embarrassing ego problem that besets much of its population - but it's only heavy(ish) in the fun, loads-of-riffs sense. So, that's what they've been finishing up during their massive month-long break from gigs. In a bid to avoid being branded layabouts, The Bug Club will support their upcoming Sub Pop release with a springtime tour of the UK and Europe beginning May 10, before heading out to the US in September.

Normally amazing
Color: Spiky Ball (Blue, Orange), Size: Medium
We have purchased these slightly spiky dog balls several times for our very strong jaw heavy chewer dogs and they’ve been amazing. They don’t break down they don’t get torn apart the squeakers don’t even pop out of them. So we ordered another package because we’ve lost a few outside to the lawnmower… oops and the package that got delivered today had only one ball that squeaks and the other does not. THIS IS A PROBLEM ! Unfortunately my female dog got to the new squeaking ball first and my male got to the non-squeaking ball and he was NOT happy. Basically once they claim a ball it’s theirs and the other dogs don’t go near the ball they claimed. So he’s following my female around and every time she squeaks the ball and I’m just waiting for him to attempt to take it from her causing damage to her. Normally… These are amazingly fun, tough, durable but also squeaking balls (that’s rare in a tough ball) that my dogs absolutely love. This time just got a bad batch I guess. When they squeak the dogs LOVE them. After several months of play the squeaker might break inside of the ball but the ball never comes apart or gets damaged. And we as the owners love that they don’t break down are not able to be ripped or torn even by our very strong jawed and big jaw muscle dogs. They are also great for in the house play because they’re small enough that they fit completely inside our dog‘s mouth but obviously not small enough to get swallowed so when we throw them in the house for fetch the dogs can jump up and catch them fully in their mouth so they don’t cause any damage to the walls when they hit the walls. They’re not super heavy but they’re incredibly durable. Definitely worth the price especially if you have heavy chewers or big jaw muscle dogs.

Best fun indestructible toy
Color: Crinkle Duck (Yellow), Size: Large
Truly indestructible no matter how much our oittie tries. She has owned it for three months works at destroying every day with no success. She carries it everywhere. Best purchase for chewer, more fun than the popular rubber heavy duty toy. Do not hesitate your pup will thank you for this fun distraction.

My dog loves this toy!
Color: Bunny (Gray), Size: Large, Color: Bunny (Gray), Size: Large
High quality, big toy, perfect for a medium to large size dog. After a few months of serious chewing I had to buy another one, but well worth the money! Rocky loves it.

Great toy but if your dog is an aggressive chewer, please think twice.
Color: Crinkle Chicken (Brown), Size: Large
I received this on May 23rd and on June 8th, after playing with this thing every day, our recently acquired 36 lb dog finally ripped it open and got out all the plastic and the squeaky part. Lily Belle will miss you, chicken. Lily loooooved this toy! She'd toss it in the air, chew on it, pull it with her teeth etc. but as much as she loved it, we won't replace it. It's just not durable enough for her. If your dog is an aggressive chewer, you might want to try a different toy. I hate that this lasted just a smidge over two weeks because Lily seemed to truly enjoy this toy. RIP, squeaky chicken!

Great Value Toy
Color: Crinkle Duck (Blue), Size: Large, Color: Crinkle Duck (Blue), Size: Large
This toy has been one of my dog’s absolute favorites. He gets excited every time he sees it and will carry it around the house, toss it in the air, and keep himself entertained for a long time. The shape and texture seem perfect for him, and it quickly became one of his go-to toys over everything else in his basket. What I really like is that it holds up reasonably well for the price. It’s definitely not indestructible, and after a lot of play, it will sometimes start to rip—usually around the feet first since that’s where my dog tends to grab and chew the most. But honestly, considering how affordable it is, I don’t mind replacing it when needed. It’s inexpensive enough that rebuying feels worth it because he genuinely loves it that much. I’d rather keep buying a toy he is obsessed with than spend more on something that just sits untouched. It’s fun, cute, and keeps him happy, which is what matters most. Overall, I’d definitely recommend it for dogs who love plush toys and playful chewing.
