"Every Single Muscle", the new album by prolific Welsh trio The Bug Club, is a tight, anxious, and catchy garage-punk album tailor-made for fans of The Minutemen, "Pink Flag"-era Wire, Neu!, and quality, fun punk rock. The album gets off to a full-throttle, chugging start with "Miss Wales 2012", the first of many sub-two-minute tracks on the album, setting the tone for The Bug Club's punkiest offering yet and recalling both the short, sharp snaps of their very first singles and the grunt of recent releases.

So packed is the album with wall-to-wall riffs and lyrical hooks rammed into tight confines that guitarist Sam actually asks permission to squeeze in a solo during second track "A Good Day For Dying" (he's given two seconds). On "Every Single Muscle", The Bug Club look more closely at themselves. Not so much in an introspective way, though. More in a way an alien might probe a captive specimen on an intergalactic gurney. The Bug Club seem almost suspicious of the concept of being a person - as if they've woken up in a costume they didn't want to put on and cannot take off.
