WHAT IT IS: Bug Eyed, the genre-blurring U.K. duo of Blue O’Grady and Charlie Sale, is turning heads with its fusion of British and American pop and rock influences. Their sound—chaotic, colorful and unapologetically bold—is a reflection of their desire to turn personal experiences into immersive sonic adventures. Debut single “Backseats,” which dropped in September, offers a hazy, melancholic take on romantic loss. They quickly followed it up with “Ten to Twelve” and “A-Rated Horror Movies,” each release further cementing their reputation for blending raw emotion with anthemic hooks. Bug Eyed is supporting Lola Young on her U.K. and EU tour, hitting major cities like Glasgow, Manchester and London before crossing over to Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam.
