"AC/DC High octane rock riffing, classic 80s rock guitar solo's ... It’s the sound of Nick Oliveri pounding Jon Spencer's head against a bass drum ... makes Brody Dalle look like Tinkerbell."
Smash Music UK
"Sounds like Janis fronting Cream on a blood-slicked night of the long knives"
Classic Rock Magazine UK November 2008 | AC/DC "TNT Dynamite New Music"
Fueled on a daily diet of Blue Kangaroo carcass, Australian Rock n' Roll Warriors BugGiRL deliver a brand of rock that cracks through the burnt earth of their barren homeland. Following the dusty footsteps of their Rockin' Ancestors AC/DC and Rose Tattoo, BugGiRL are a band of attitude, guts and glory.
Recently signed to rock-solid label Impedance Records (boasting Australian releases for Airbourne, Supersuckers, Eagles Of Death Metal, New Christs, Nick Oliveri, Winnebago Deal and more), a new EP is scheduled for release in July 09. The EP "Blood, Sweat and Beers" (produced by Mark Opitz - legend behind AC/DCs "Let There Be Rock" and "Powerage") are 5 road-burning tracks of guitars, cars, brawls, long-hauls, bras & bars.
With a definite AC/DC influence, the duo’s sound also fires off comparisons to Motorhead, Deep Purple, KISS and Motley Crue. Pretty solid acclaim most 4-piece bands would be proud of...

BugGiRL are a sister/brother psychic rock connection. Fronted by BugGiRL on blazing guitar & flaming vocals, and Mallets Of Mayhem unleashing the fury on his fiery drum kit of death, they continue to fight for the glory of rock ...an indestructible force known as BugGiRL.

"AXE-WEILDER par excellence, as it were! ... with a certain element in the guitar playing that reminds me of Danko Jones ... Ian (Astbury), if you are listening, the next Cult album's gotta have a track called BugGiRL!"

"... sounds like Janis Joplin covering’ MANOWAR’. A most interesting, highly recommended album.

Hello Faithful
followers!! Sorry for the
disappearing act. Maggie cracked her head open during a basement show, so we’ve
been out(no pun intended) for awhile. She is almost better so when that happens
we’ll be back in the recording studio. In the meantime, we did manage to
convince our buddies at myspace.com/onryeproductions to let us do the video
game SFX that are on their newest episode.
If you are interested
in having a song or songs of yours featured in future episodes please send mp3s
to onryecontact@gmail.com
Since you guys are my friends I though you might want to check out the hot new Vagrants vids from the recent Hi Fi Bar gig http://www.youtube.com/thevagrants
