"Bug has the very unique skill of being able to put a lifetime of experiences in a single song. There is also a very rare quality where even the most painful lyrics manage to have a silver lining or hope within their theme. Every song has a story, and every story has something profound to pull from it. Every single album and song is an entire rush of words that manage to perfectly capture so many specific emotions and moments in time. There is such a rare quality in the writing, and I’ve yet to find another artist that I can fully compare to Bug Hunter.”

Mudslinger/songwrecker The Narcissist Cookbook uses five-rounds-rapid storytelling and powerful songwriting as a siege weapon trained on the barker between the stage and the audience. An irreverent, unpredictable and inimitable voice in modern spoken word.

Jam Mechanics is a collaboration between two indie songwriters: The Narcissist Cookbook and Bug Hunter! Together they host a songwriting challenge podcast (also called Jam Mechanics). In celebration of finishing their first season of the hit show, Bug and Matt have recorded a full version of the podcast's theme song, called Art is for Amateurs! To hear the podcast (and the 50+ other songs written for the show), check it out Spotify, Youtube, or anywhere else you find podcasts!
