80's American Punk and Hardcore
Science
The Force
Neverending hope of winning the lotto
NYC Pizza
Probably some drugs and booze at one point or another
Teenage broken hearts
All politicians lie
Religion is the villain
Where's my calculator

Nowhere is my home
Bleeding on my guitar

It was no doubt hot, over one hundred, and a black night on top with no moon and no stars. I slept in sweat for several hours then rolled out for a cool drink in the dark. If you cared to look, you could see the spark nets flashing in the distance at the edge of the city killing insects by the thousands. You could stick your head out the window if you wanted to see the reflected glow of the security screens in the lobbies of the buildings down the block. I opened the window and caught some steam from the streets. There was nothing moving.
The squares of night time light, embedded in the sidewalks, glowed evenly, casting shadows upwards over the window sills. The sidewalks were like a luminescent checkered game board, winding corners around corners and into alleys. You might think of a huge city sized , a Game of Life game board for the real people that live here, only it’s got stops like junkie town, slide bar, gambling den and murder alley, instead of go to college buy a house and the life. There would be a card that said, ‘You get knocked in a gun raid. You are out of the game permanently’. I was always anxious about picking that card and a little more careful each roll I took.
Bugs Multiply is a 4 piece powerpop band from Asheville, NC. Members: Matt Cox (Vocals, Guitar, Keyboards), Toby Brown (Guitar, Vocals), George Waterman (Drums) and Adam Kowalski on Bass.
Matt Cox is an Asheville transplant from Ithaca, NY who left a short lived stay in Los Angeles to come to Asheville in 1998. The first version of Bugs Multiply rehearsed in his one room log cabin working out a collection of existing songs. Eight years later including several name changes and an evolution of lineup changes the first full length Bugs Multiply CD was released and the band was playing regular local shows. The CD sold about 200 copies and gathered positive reviews and radio play leaving the band name a solid 3 pages of google search results and some MySpace momentum.
2007 brought another complete lineup change, but also a years worth of regular local shows and 2 short tours including 7 days in the northeast and a beach city tour. At the end of that run two of the members moved on to form their own project and Matt took time off to write songs for a new EP. Enter George Waterman on drums and Toby Brown as new guitar player and a good vocal match for song harmonies. Waterman is an “any genre” drummer with a history of session work who found the songs exactly the type of project he was looking for after moving to Asheville. Toby Brown comes from the Orlando, FL punk and hardcore scene as well as 8 years of Warped Tour residency as a player and a tour manager. With playing and writing styles that matched Matt’s punk rock background, the songs for the new EP took a slightly faster turn and brought more power to the pop while keeping the big harmony choruses like the first album. The 6 song EP titled “Strung Out on the Placebo” was recorded in Nashville over summer 2008. The songs always have a hint of dissonance that come from some unique chord phrasings that Matt developed as a piano player turned guitar based writer. Matt has an experienced soft spot for glaring hooks with harmonies, and no shortage of pretty measures with hidden pop melodies and softer vocals. On the other side, the songs go for punk influenced super catchy 3 minute soundtracks for your short attention span life.
This year the band developed their own record label (Coma Gun Records) that has a mission to create a promotions sharing community with a few other bands that will also be on the label. The new 6 song EP titled "Strung Out on the Placebo" is finished and could possibly be in physical form by November 2009 sometime. There are plans to release a record label compilation disc showcasing the 3 rock bands that make up Coma Gun Records.
Here's Some Press About The First Album
"The vocal harmonies and guitar hooks alone make Bugs Multiply worth checking out ... With a definite flare for the indie-rock sound, this band has the potential to garner some much-deserved adoration.
Mary Beth Hascall
Playbackstl.com
"Rather than play noisy alternative rock, these guys present surprisingly radio-friendly hard pop that is immediately catchy and uplifting. Mr. Cox (the band's songwriter) comes up with songs that borrow from 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s pop...reinventing them with unusual chord structures and modern recording techniques. (Rating: 4++++)" babysue.com
"Their songs are driving with fiery moments rarely held in check for long. Lavishing in harmony in the vocal and guitar departments, Bugs Multiply have no issue at all with taking the helm of alternative pops next radio-friendly champion." SMOTHER MAGAZINE
